متن کاملDialysis catheter malfunction
Vascular access is a crucial factor in the treatment of hemodialysis patients. Dialysis catheters are associated with higher mortality than fistulas, meaning they should be the last choice for most patients. Although they have many drawbacks, catheters play an important role in providing a reliable vascular access in some patients. Dialysis catheter dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity. Ea...
متن کاملPeritoneal Dialysis Catheter Placement Techniques
The success of catheter placement is critically important for the ability to stay on peritoneal dialysis over the long-term. Nephrologists have used percutaneous placement with or without fluoroscopic guidance and placement using peritoneoscopic guidance to place these catheters. Complications can be divided into early, within 14 days, and late complications, those arising more that 14 days aft...
متن کاملSimultaneous peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion and removal in catheter-related infections without interruption of peritoneal dialysis.
Catheter-related infections result in high patient morbidity, the need for temporary haemodialysis, and high costs. These infections are the main cause of limited technique survival in peritoneal dialysis. We introduced a protocol for the simultaneous peritoneoscopic insertion and removal of peritoneal catheters in patients with catheter-related infections. Peritoneal dialysis was continued the...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Placement of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter (Same Day Dialysis)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains the generally accepted method for management of renal failure in chronic and acute renal failure. Despite the rapidly increasing use of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) since its introduction, controversy persists as to the efficacy and exact role of the modality in the treatment of end stage renal failure. The aim of thi...
