Outpatient CAPD catheter salvage for persistent exit-site/tunnel infection.
BACKGROUND Partial replantation (i.e. replacement of the extraperitoneal portion of the catheter with creation of a new subcutaneous tunnel) has been suggested to avoid catheter removal in patients with persistent exit-site/tunnel infection (ESTI). However, published experience with this technique is limited. METHODS Partial replantation was performed on an outpatient basis under local anesth...
متن کاملPeritoneal catheters and exit-site practices: toward optimum peritoneal access.
The peritoneal catheter is the CAPD patient's lifeline. Advances in catheter knowledge have made it possible to access the peritoneal cavity safely and maintain access over an extended period of time. Infection at the exit site remains a major problem, a solution for which is being extensively researched. The successful outcome of a catheter in an individual depends on meticulous care and adher...

متن کاملPseudomonas exit site infections in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients.
The purpose of this study is to examine the natural history of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exit site infections in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients treated with oral ciprofloxacin and local exit site care. A retrospective view was undertaken of 18 episodes of P. aeruginosa exit site infections developing in 17 patients maintained on CAPD during 1989 and 1990. Standardized th...
