A Change to Radiological Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Insertion: Three-Month Outcomes

Abstract: ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦ Background: Best practices for peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion call for timely placement of catheters to reduce complications and increase the likelihood of a successful initiation of PD. The purpose of our study was to assess if a change in approach to PD catheter insertion, including a switch to radiological insertion of PD catheters and introduction of a dialysis access nurse to coordinate all patient care, was associated with more outpatient procedures and achievement of guideline-ba… Show more

“…Placement of the PD catheter by interventional radiologists has been advocated as a cost-effective, efficient, and safe procedure (22). Placement of the catheter by IR allows for certain operational efficiencies by avoiding the need for an initial surgical consultation, operating room scheduling, recovery room time, and involvement of an anesthesiologist.…”

“…Catheters placed by interventional nephrologists or radiologists allow for the rapid initiation of PD and may offer several logistical efficiencies by obviating the need for surgical consultation, scheduling of an operating room, general anesthesia, and a recovery room (2,11,12). Although some interventional nephrologists or radiologists have little experience with placing PD catheters, that skill is readily obtainable.…”

“…S killed peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC) placement is vital to the success of any peritoneal dialysis (PD) program (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). The PDC is the lifeline for PD patients and an important target for quality improvement efforts (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)8,(10)(11)(12)(13). Malfunction of the PDC and related complications can lead to patient discomfort, infection, a need for revision, and technique failure (3,4,6,(12)(13)(14)(15).…”

“…The PDC is the lifeline for PD patients and an important target for quality improvement efforts (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)8,(10)(11)(12)(13). Malfunction of the PDC and related complications can lead to patient discomfort, infection, a need for revision, and technique failure (3,4,6,(12)(13)(14)(15). These events can be quite frustrating for patients and providers, increasing health care costs and potentially contributing to reduced utilization of PD (6,7,12,13,(15)(16)(17).…”
