BackgroundImplantation of the peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC), usually an elective procedure, may necessitate unexpected hospitalization and even transfer to intensive care due to the multiple comorbidities and inherent instability of the end-stage renal disease patient. Information on hospitalization after PDC implantation is limited and details about the reason for hospitalization are lacking.MethodsWe performed a cohort study in consecutive patients who underwent PDC implantation at a single institution from September 2007 to September 2013. Clinical characteristics of enrolled patients, technique of the implantation procedure, and all-cause unexpected hospitalization and morbidity within 14 days after implantation were analyzed.ResultsExcluding the patients with pre-arranged admission, a total of 246 patients receiving 252 PDC implantations during the 6 years were studied. After 39 procedures (15.5%), patients had an unexpected hospital stay or re-admission due to operative complications (33.3%), worsening of disease (35.9%), or a single-night hospital stay for observation (30.8%). Compared with discharged patients, the patients with unexpected hospitalization were older ( p = 0.001), experienced higher rates of previous episodes of heart failure ( p = 0.006) and heart disease ( p < 0.001), had more use of general anesthesia (GA) ( p = 0.046), underwent more added procedures during the implantation ( p = 0.02), and had more episodes of flow obstruction and peritonitis after implantation ( p = 0.012 and p < 0.001, respectively). Using a multivariable logistic regression, we showed that age, cardiac morbidity, use of general anesthesia, PDC flow problems and peritonitis after implantation were independent predictors of all-cause unexpected hospitalization.ConclusionsFor the first time, our study analyzed the predictors of unplanned hospitalization after PDC implantation and identified the salient risk factors. Increased focus to identify patients at greatest risk for hospitalization, evaluation of processes of care, and implementation of preventive strategies may be helpful to reduce unplanned hospitalization after catheter insertion.

In two adolescents maintained on CAPD, infections of the peritoneal catheter tunnel were treated by an “unroofing” technique. The infections were eradicated without catheter removal or interruption of CAPD. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) has produced a dramatic improvement in the care of patients with end-stage renal disease. Peritonitis remains a major complication and the most common cause of CAPD failure (1–3). Most episodes of peritonitis can be attributed to a break in the technique of bag exchanges; however, tunnel infections are also implicated (3,4). Tunnel infections are difficult to cure and, if persistent, may make necessary the removal of an otherwise well functioning catheter. We describe two patients with tunnel infections that were eradicated after “unroofing” of the Tenckhoff catheter.

Peritoneal dialysis is an effective treatment for end-stage renal disease patients who require renal replacement therapy but unfortunately the use of it is still underutilized worldwide despite its several advantages over hemodialysis and cost efficiency for heath policies.

We present the case of an 11-year-old girl with end-stage renal disease and a previously-inserted peritoneal dialysis catheter who underwent a bilateral transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy for hypertension refractory to medical treatment. We employed a 4-port transperitoneal technique using the first detached kidney to occlude the ipsilateral abdominal wall access port during the contralateral nephrectomy to avoid gas/fluid leak and to facilitate location of the first kidney at the end of the surgery. The patient had no morbidity and was able to resume use of the peritoneal dialysis catheter 5 days after the surgery.

Reversible Encephalopathy

ABSTRACTWe report a patient with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis, who developed encephalopathy after receiving a few doses of cefepime. He recovered clinically and electroencephalographically after having discontinued the culprit agent and undergone hemodialysis. This case highlights the importance of promptly recognizing this reversible encephalopathy, which can lead to the avoidance of unnecessary workup, reduce the length of hospital stay, and thereby improve the patients’ outcome.

Abstract The ability to visualize intraluminal surface of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter and peritoneal cavity could allow elucidation of the cases of outflow problems, and provide information on changes to the peritoneal membrane leading to encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. A non-invasive examination that allows those monitoring in need is desirable. We have developed a disposable ultra-fine endoscope that can be inserted into the lumen of the existing PD catheter, allowing observation of the luminal side of the catheter and peritoneal cavity from the tip of the PD catheter, with minimum invasion in practice. In a pre-clinical study in pigs and a clinical study in 10 PD patients, the device provided detailed images, enabling safe, easy observation of the intraluminal side of the entire catheter, and of the morphology and status of the peritoneal surface in the abdominal cavity under dwelling PD solution. Since this device can be used repeatedly during PD therapy, clinical application of this device could contribute to improved management of clinical issues in current PD therapy, positioning PD as a safer, more reliable treatment modality for end-stage renal disease.

Pediatric Icu

Peritoneal dialysis has become an effective and widely used technique for the treatment of patients with end-stage renal disease. Peritoneal dialysis has become more practical for use in pediatric patients since equipment and techniques have been adapted for smaller patients. In the present work we describe the surgical technique that we currently use at our institution for surgical placement of peritoneal dialysis catheter. From January 1985 to January 1992, 19 peritoneal catheters were placed in 17 children, at the Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital. At the time of catheter insertion the average weight of the children was 14.2 kg., and the average age was 4 y. 10m. Peritoneal dialysis catheters were always placed under sterile conditions, in an operating room or in a pediatric ICU, with surgical technique. Regarding our surgical technique we recommend: 1) to use Tenckhoff catheter, 2 cuffs pigtail (curled) type; 2) to perform a minilaparatomy with lateral surgical approach and a routine omentectomy; 3) to create a submuscular tunnel (rectus abdominis) to reduce the leakaqe of peritoneal dialysis fluid. Furthermore the various clinical problems encountered in our experience and some surgical guidelines for the prevention of complications are reviewed.
