Peritoneal dialysis in neonates: six years of single center experience

Conclusion: In the acute setting of a neonatal intensive care unit, PD performed in a neonate provides a technically simple method of steady fluid, solute removal, and correction of electrolyte abnormalities. A trocar catheter appears safe even in premature babies, and closed three-way stopcock system seems to be reliable at the bedside in NICUs. PMID: 29714433 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
