          Abstract

          A new catheter for continuous flow peritoneal dialysis is presented. One of the main issues in this field is the safety and good clinical tolerance of the catheter. In this case, the size and diameter of the cannula has not been increased in comparison to previous PD catheters. Furthermore, the materials utilized are designed for maximum comfort of the patient and minimal traumatisation of the peritoneal membrane. Nevertheless, the two compartments of the catheter allow for high dialysate flows without creating high resistance and the rate of recirculation is minimal in conditions of simulated continuous flow PD. Furthermore, the characteristic of the new catheter is the presence in the inflow branch of a special diffuser designed like a shower cap that is intended to improve the dialysate inflow distribution in the peritoneal cavity and to increase the contact of the peritoneal membrane with the solution. At the same time, the diffuser prevents a traumatic effect of the inflow dialysate due to high speed infusion or jet flow conditions.

              Delivered Dialysis Dose with PD Plus Therapy

              Jose Diaz-Buxo, Brenda P. Youngblood, Anne Torres (1998)
              Aim: To evaluate the effect of PD Plus on weekly Kt/V urea and creatinine clearance (K cr ) among patients undergoing CAPD/CCPD (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis/continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis). Methods: The kinetic studies of 92 CAPD and 18 CCPD patients who transferred to PD Plus were analyzed. All patients underwent CAPD/CCPD and PD Plus for a minimum of 3 months. Standard collection methods were used and kinetic indices calculated with the Pack PD Kinetic Modeling program. 57 patients had transport data and were modeled for a target weekly Kt/V urea ≥2.1 using PD Plus with ≤15 liters dialysate/day. 6 patients were supervised during the collection periods by research nurses. The actual results for all patients (110) and for the supervised patients were compared against the modeled results. Results: 45% of the patients achieved a Kt/V urea ≥2.1 and 47% a K cr ≥60 liters/1.73 m 2 with PD Plus, but only 20% did so with CAPD/CCPD. A close correlation between the supervised patients and modeled therapy was observed. Conclusions: Adequate dialysis is possible by using higher fill volumes, the supine position, and optimal dwell times (PD Plus) in most patients. The discrepancy between modeled and achieved dose is likely due to poor compliance with therapy, inadequate training, or poor specimen collection.
