Use of the embedded peritoneal dialysis catheter. Introduction The use of embedded peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters is purported to offer numerous benefits over standard placement. However, the optimum period of embedment and the effect of prolonged embedment on.
Although not widely popular in the United States, embedded PD catheters are used in some centers (the catheter is placed in anticipation of the PD several months before and is externalized at the time of initiation of dialysis).
Embedded peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters involve tunnelling the extra- abdominal part of the catheter in the subcutaneous tissues of the abdomen, where it remains embedded until required for dialysis.
INTRODUCTION The use of embedded peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters is purported to offer numerous benefits over standard, 4/25/2018 · The use of embedded peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters is purported to offer numerous benefits over standard placement. However, the optimum period of embedment and the effect of prolonged embedment on subsequent catheter function remain unclear.
Advantages of embedded PD catheters In our experience, there are many advantages to the routine use of embedded catheters. Our approach to early insertion means that the procedure is carried out electively rather than on a semiurgent basis. This has the potential to decrease resource utilization because the patient is usually in better, 11/1/2006 · Routine use of embedded PD catheters has the potential to allow for early elective insertion of PD catheters in patients with progressive chronic renal failure in much the same way that an arteriovenous fistula is pre-emptively implanted in patients who indicate preference for HD. 10 Thus, with this technique there may be greater flexibility in timing of insertion of PD catheters and a reduced risk …
