What is Acute peritoneal dialysis in the newborn: A safe and feasible method about?
## Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the patient characteristics of neonates treated with peritoneal dialysis (pd) and review our experience with placement of pd catheters. ## Methods: Records of neonates treated with pd between january 2019 and january 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. ## Results: Swan neck curl pd catheters with double cuffs were used in 85 neonates as a bedside procedure with one cuff remaining within the abdomen. there were 44 (51.7%) males and 41 (48.3%) females. their mean gestational age was 33.6 ± 4.9 (22-40) weeks and the mean birth weight was 2315,5 ± 1039 (500-4700) g. the primary diagnoses were asphyxia (n = 22, 25.9%), prematurity (n = 21, 24.7%), inborn errors of metabolism (n = 11, 12.9%), sepsis (n = 7, 8.2%), necrotizing enterocolitis (n = 5, 5.9%), dehydration (n = 5, 5.9%), hydrops fetalis (n = 5, 5.9%), congenital heart diseases (n = 5, 5.9%) and renal anomalies (n = 4, 4.7%). the mean duration of pd was 11.6 ± 13.7 days (range 1 to 75 days). catheter-related complications occurred in 7 (8.2%) patients. these were drainage problems (n = 4), leakage (n = 1), incisional hernia (n = 1) and wound dehiscence (n = 1). mortality because of underlyin
