Reduction of Exit Site Infection in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

NCT03798171 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 80

Last updated 2019-01-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In peritoneal dialysis patients, the presence of the catheter presents a risk of infection - exit site infection, tunnel infection or peritonitis. In our dialysis unit, we noticed a rise in exit-site infection associated with organisms derived from contaminated water. Therefore we decided to change the exit-site care in our unit.

This is a prospective observational single center study, that compares exit-site infection rated in peritoneal dialysis patients before and after our policy change for exit-site care.
