What is Prophylactic Peritoneal Dialysis in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery about?

Purposeof review This review examines the role of prophylactic peritoneal dialysis in pediatric patients after cardiac surgery. We identify benefits and risks of the intervention while highlighting gaps in current knowledge. Recent findings The usage of peritoneal dialysis to manage and acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) after pediatric cardiac surgery may demonstrate advantages over conventional diuresis and more invasive forms of renal replacement therapies (RRT) in some patients. Outcomes vary by population in limited single and multicenter studies but suggest decreased mechanical ventilation time, earlier time to net negative fluid balance, and shorter ICU stays when compared to conventional therapies. Summary Prophylactic peritoneal dialysis use in the pediatric cardiac population varies widely across pediatric cardiac centers but is increasingly being demonstrated as a safe, effective treatment of AKI and FO, both of which are common and associated with deleterious outcomes in this population. Clinical decision support tools have been developed to assist in identifying patients most likely to benefit from RRT outside of the cardiac population, but further work
