Peritoneal Dialysis Access

Chapter
First Online:

Abstract

A well functioning access is crucial for optimal performance of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Proper catheter selection and placement in pediatric patients must take into account the unique requirements of infants, children and adolescents. This chapter reviews the characteristics of the PD catheter, the surgical approach to catheter placement, post-implantation care and the diagnosis and treatment of common catheter related complications, all of which must be taken into account as part of access management. A thorough understanding of these topics by the nephrologist, surgeon and dialysis nurse and implementation of the combined evidence and opinion based recommendations provided will contribute to successful PD therapy.
