BMC Nurs 2024; 23:144. [PMID: 38429782 PMCID: PMC10905825 DOI: 10.1186/s12912-024-01812-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To analyse the nature of medical or technical emergency issues of ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients calling a nurse-provided emergency PD support service of a reference centre that is provided all year in the after-hours. METHODS We retrospectively analysed patients' chief complaint, urgency, resolution of and association to current PD treatment and modality directed to an on-call nurse-provided PD support service from 2015-2021 based on routinely collected health data. Calls were systematically categorized being technical/procedural-, medical-, material-related or type of correspondence. Call urgency was categorized to have "immediate consequence", inquiry was eligible for "processing next working day" or whether there was "no need for further action". Call outcomes were classified according to whether patients were able to initiate, resume or finalize their treatments or whether additional interventions were required. Unexpected adverse events such as patients' acute hospitalization or need for nurses' home visits were evaluated and quantified. RESULTS In total 753 calls were documented. Most calls were made around 7:30 a.m. (5:00-9:00; median, 25-75th CI) and 6:30 p.m. (5:00-8:15). 645 calls were assigned to continuous ambulatory- (CAPD) or automated PD (APD). Of those, 430 calls (66.7%) had an "immediate consequence". Of those 77% (N = 331) were technical/procedural-, 12.8% (N = 55) medical- and 6.3% (N = 27) material related issues. 4% (N = 17) were categorized as other correspondence. Issues disrupting the course of PD were identified in 413 cases. In 77.5% (N = 320) patients were able to initiate, resume or finalize their treatment after phone consultation. Last-bag exchange was used in 6.1% enabling continued therapy in 83.6%. In 35 cases a nurse visit at patients' home or patients' visit to the practice at the earliest possible date were required, while hospitalization was required in seven medical category cases (5.4% and 1.09% of total assessed calls, respectively). CONCLUSION The on-call PD-nurse provides patient support for acute and imminent issues enabling them to successfully initiate, resume or finalize their prescribed treatment. Nurses triage of acute conditions facilitated rapid diagnostics and therapy. Maintaining quality PD homecare, the provision of trained personnel is indispensable. The information gathered in this study may therefore be used as a foundation to tailor educational programs for nephrology nurses and doctors to further develop their competencies in PD.

Abstract
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis found mainly in South America and is the most prevalent endemic and systemic mycosis in Brazil. The purpose of this paper was to report the case of a male patient who developed peritonitis caused by Paracoccidioides spp. Forty-eight-year-old, male patient, with type I Diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease who was undergoing a Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) program. After eighteen months of peritoneal dialysis, the patient developed turbidity of the peritoneal fluid and was diagnosed with peritonitis. Direct mycological examination of the peritoneal fluid revealed yeasts with morphology suggestive of Paracoccidioides spp. The patient was treated with sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (1,600 mg/320 mg dose/day) for 61 days, but he died because a bacterial septic shock. The diagnosis of opportunistic PCM peritonitis was later confirmed by autopsy and Paracoccidioides spp. isolation. This is the first reported case of a patient on CAPD who experienced complications due peritonitis caused by opportunistic PCM.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis is a home based therapy for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. This method provides adequate clearance of uremic toxins and removal of excess fluid when a proper dialysis prescription is combined with patient adherence. Peritonitis is the most frequent infectious complication among these patients and may render the continuity of the treatment. Training patients and their caregivers have prime importance to provide proper treatment and prevent complications including infectious ones. The training methods before the onset of treatment are relatively well established. However, patients may break the rules in the long term and tend to take shortcuts. So, retraining may be necessary during follow-up. There are no established guidelines to guide the retraining of PD patients yet. This review tends to summarize data in the literature about retraining programs and also proposes a structured program for this purpose.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In this paper, we describe the design of a touchless peritoneal dialysis connector system and how we evaluated its potential for preventing peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis, in comparison to the standard of care. The unique feature of this system is an enclosure within which patients can connect and disconnect for therapy, protecting their peritoneal catheters from touch or aerosols. METHODS We simulated a worst-case contamination scenario by spraying 40mL of a standardized inoculum [ 1×107 colony-forming units (CFU) per milliliter] of test organisms, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC1228 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC39327, while test participants made mock connections for therapy. We then compared the incidence of fluid path contamination by test organisms in the touchless connector system and the standard of care. 4 participants were recruited to perform a total of 56 tests, divided in a 1:1 ratio between both systems. Peritoneal dialysis fluid sample from each test was collected and maintained at body temperature (37° C) for 16 hours before being plated on Luria Bertani agar, Mannitol Salts Agar and Pseudomonas isolation agar for enumeration. RESULTS No contamination was observed in test samples from the touchless connector system, compared to 65%, 75% and 70% incidence contamination for the standard of care on Luria Bertani agar, Mannitol Salts Agar and Pseudomonas isolation agar respectively. CONCLUSION Results show that the touchless connector system can prevent fluid path contamination even in heavy bacterial exposures and may help reduce peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis risks from inadvertent contamination with further development.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate how peritoneal dialysis and other influencing factors affect patients' cognitive function. METHODS The 85 subjects in the study group were regular patients in our center. The control group included 88 age and gender matched healthy individuals who were with normal renal function. The study subjects' cognitive levels and related factors were analyzed using several screening instruments: the cognitive function was measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale and statistical analysis was conducted based on the relevant data. RESULTS The results showed that cognitive impairment was higher in peritoneal dialysis patients than in non-dialysis subjects. Age and educational background were single factors that affected cognitive function, which was more likely to be impaired at a higher age level and/or a lower educational level. CONCLUSION Cognitive function can be impaired by peritoneal dialysis, and age and education levels are influencing factors.

Abstract
Remote patient management (RPM) programs are one of the most crucial innovations in the peritoneal dialysis (PD) field that have been developed in the last decade. RPM programs are associated with favourable clinical outcomes by increasing the adherence of the patients to PD prescription. The literature supports that RPM is associated with increased blood pressure control and technique survival, and decreased hospitalization rate, length of hospital stay and health costs. RPM programs also facilitate patient follow-up during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, increase treatment adherence and lead to better clinical outcomes. However, published data remain scarce and mainly consist of observational or retrospective studies with relatively low numbers of patients. Therefore, randomized controlled trial results will be more informative to demonstrate the effect of RPM programs on clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Decline in skills and knowledge among patients and/or caregivers contributes to peritoneal-dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis. Re-training is important, but no guidelines exist. We describe the implementation of a structured re-training program to decrease peritonitis rates. METHODS This is a prospective quality improvement study involving pediatric patients on long-term home automated PD at National University Hospital, Singapore, between 2012 and 2018. With increasing peritonitis rates, systematic root cause analysis was performed, and based on the contributory factors identified, a structured re-training program was implemented from 2015. This was conducted in 5 cycles, each consisting of 4 modules (hand hygiene, exit site care, peritonitis, and PD troubleshooting). RESULTS Peritonitis rates were analyzed in 2 phases: Phase 1 (2012-2014) when no re-training was performed and Phase 2 (2016-2018) after re-training was instituted. Fifty-nine patients were included. Of these, 45 patients were in Phase 1, 32 in Phase 2, and 18 in both phases. Peritonitis rates decreased from 0.37 ± 0.67 episodes per patient-year in Phase 1 to 0.13 ± 0.32 episodes per patient-year in Phase 2. After adjusting for age at kidney failure onset, PD vintage, years of nursing experience, and the average patient-to-nurse ratio over the study period for each patient, the adjusted peritonitis rates decreased by 0.38 episodes per patient-year (95% CI, 0.09 to 0.67, p = 0.011) from Phase 1 to Phase 2. CONCLUSION Despite an improvement in staffing ratio, peritonitis rates only improved significantly after intensive structured re-training was instituted.

Abstract
Bacillus licheniformis is a rare pathogen causing peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and it is usually recognized among immunosuppressed or traumatized patients. A 24-year-old lady was treated for peritonitis as an outpatient with empirical therapy. PD culture grew Bacillus licheniformis after 48 hours, and she continued receiving intraperitoneal (IP) vancomycin for a total of three weeks. The patient was clinically stable throughout the course of therapy and showed complete resolution of her symptoms. This was the first case of reported Bacillus peritonitis in an automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) patient with rapid clinical and biochemical improvement without evidence of relapse or recurrence.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients may have a variety of complications during receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD). The malnutrition in CKD patients is related to their lower life quality, higher hospitalization rates, and higher risk of cardiovascular disease, as well as the increased morbidity and mortality. Hence, it is very important to monitor and then manage the nutritional status of CKD patients. Thus, we perform this randomized controlled study protocol to introduce a continuing nursing program based on Omaha system (OS) for the patients with CKD receiving PD treatment.The randomized trial will be implemented from November 2020 to May 2021 and was granted through the Research Ethics Committee of Wuhan No.1 Hospital (2020003281). Two hundred patients meet inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria are included.Patients who meet the following criteria will be selected: voluntary participation, aged 20 to 60; undergoing the regular PD treatment for at least 3 months. Patients will be excluded if the patients are in unstable status, or experience the intermittent PD or some other kinds of dialysis mode, have severe cachexia, infection, or malnutrition, or if they have mental disorders. In control group, patients are given routine treatment, containing general guidance associated with PD and the outpatient telephone calls from the clinical nurses during follow-up. In study group, the patients are given the continuous nursing treatment scheme based on OS. The clinical results are the biochemical parameters after intervention, anthropometry, as well as the subjective global assessment.Table 1 reveals the clinical endpoints between the 2 groups.This protocol can guide nurses to develop a nursing program based on evidence for patients with CKD receiving PD. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study protocol was registered in Research Registry (researchregistry6202).

Abstract
Background In this study, we focused on the role of overhydration (OH) and low serum prealbumin concentration in predicting peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients over a 3-year period. Methods We measured serum prealbumin concentration and OH by body composition monitor in 278 CAPD patients (159 males and 119 females) with a mean age of 46 years and a median peritoneal dialysis (PD) duration of 21 months. Cases of PD-related peritonitis were collected over 3 years. Results After the 3-year follow-up, 44 patients were diagnosed with PD-related peritonitis (15.8%). Low education, serum glucose, prealbumin, and OH were independent risk factors for predicting peritonitis over 36 months in CAPD patients. Based on the ROC curve model and Kaplan-Meier analysis, we realized that low prealbumin and high OH were independent predictors of 3-year peritonitis in CAPD patients (Prealbumin: AUC = 0.838, cut-off value = 32.5 mg/dL, Se = 90.9%, Sp = 32.9%; OH: AUC = 0.851, cut-off value = 1.33 L, Se = 79.5%, Sp = 85.5%; and log-rank test p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusion Overhydration and low serum prealbumin were the independent predictors of PD-related peritonitis in CAPD patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Evaluate the efficacy of retraining and catheter exit site care in reducing peritonitis rates. METHODS This interventional study included all prevalent PD patients from 1/2009 to 12/2017 from a single center. Peritonitis rates and causative organisms were assessed and compared in three periods: (1) Before intervention (01/2009-12/2014), (2) after educational intervention: assessment of training process by infection control nurse and repeat training every 3 months, after each peritonitis episode and after hospitalizations > 2 weeks (01/2015-02/2016), and (3) in addition to the measures in period 2, an exit site care protocol including postoperative care, topical antibacterial therapy and nasal Staph aureus screening and eradication was implemented (03/2016-12/2017). RESULTS The study included 201 patients (149 men, 52 women), mean age was 65.1 ± 12.6 years. After both interventions, including educational and exit site care strategies, peritonitis decreased significantly from 1.05 episodes per patient-year (n = 113) to 0.67 (n = 54); P = 0.017 between periods 1 and 3. The percentage of peritonitis-free patients increased from 27.4 to 52.4 and 55.6%, respectively (P = 0.001 between period 1 vs. 2 and period 1 vs. 3.). Coagulase-negative staph was the most common pathogen, causing 7.56 peritonitis episodes per year, followed by pseudomonas at 4.33 episodes annually and staph aureus at 3.44 episodes per year. CONCLUSIONS Enforcement of an educational program and strict adherence to an exit site care protocol was associated with a significant decrease in peritonitis rates.

Abstract
Infection is a significant driver of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing maintenance dialysis. In the United States, septicemia and other infections account for 8% deaths in patients undergoing dialysis. In patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), PD-related peritonitis remains the most frequent treatment-related infection and is the greatest contributor to infection-related morbidity, including risk for hospitalization, and temporary or permanent transfer to hemodialysis. In the 4 decades since the introduction of ambulatory PD in clinical practice, a large number of treatment innovations have been shown to be effective in reducing the risk for exit site infection and PD-related peritonitis. Notwithstanding the evidence for efficacy of these innovations and the numerous adverse health consequences with PD-related peritonitis, the uptake of these interventions in clinical practice around the world remains inconsistent. This article reviews current knowledge with regards to prevention of PD-associated infections, and the diagnosis and management of exit site infections and peritonitis.

Abstract
Background Nonadherence to hand hygiene and aseptic regimen, dialysis environment guidelines, and catheter and exit-site care guidelines are risk factors of peritonitis. However, little is known about the psychosocial factors that account for the nonadherent behavior of patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Applying the health belief model, this study seeks to enhance the understanding of psychosocial influences on patients’ nonadherent behavior to the 3 regimen components. Methods Through referrals by 7 Hong Kong renal patient support groups, we surveyed patients undergoing PD treatment. Results A total of 244 Hong Kong PD patients completed the questionnaires. About 90% of the patients reported no deviation from catheter and exit-site care guidelines. However, the nonadherence rates of hand hygiene and aseptic regimen and of dialysis environment guidelines were 30.3% and 23%, respectively. Longer time on PD treatment and lower family monthly income were associated with nonadherence to dialysis environment guidelines. Employed patients tended toward nonadherence to catheter and exit-site care guidelines twice as much as unemployed patients. Of the 5 health beliefs, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and efficacy belief were significant predictors of nonadherence to the 3 regimen components. Conclusions The findings of this study inform the design of intervention to change patients’ behavior in regimen nonadherence for preventing peritonitis. To identify the target audience for adherence intervention based on the 3 regimen components, the results suggest dividing patients into subgroups according to their sociodemographic background. To foster behavioral change, health communicators should address patients’ health beliefs when formulating intervention strategies.

Abstract
As kidney disease progresses, patients often experience a variety of symptoms. A challenge for the nephrologist is to help determine if these symptoms are related to advancing CKD or the effect of various comorbidities and/or medications prescribed. The clinician also must decide the timing of dialysis initiation. The initiation of dialysis can have a variable effect on quality of life measures and the alleviation of uremic signs and symptoms, such as anorexia, fatigue, cognitive impairment, depressive symptoms, pruritus, and sleep disturbances. Thus, the initiation of dialysis should be a shared decision-making process among the patient, the family and the nephrology team; information should be provided, in an ongoing dialogue, to patients and their families concerning the benefits, risks, and effect of dialysis therapies on their lives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early withdrawal within 3 years after starting peritoneal dialysis (PD) and PD-related peritonitis have been major obstacles preventing increases in the population of PD patients. To address these problems, we implemented education programs for medical staff. This study analyzed the recent status and outcomes of PD therapy, focusing on findings such as the incidence and prognosis of peritonitis as of 5 years after our last study. METHODS We investigated background, laboratory data and status of PD therapy, reasons for withdrawal from PD and incidental statements on peritonitis from 2010 to 2012 (R2), and compared findings with those from our last study of 2005-2007 (R1). RESULTS Early PD therapy withdrawal in R2 clearly improved to 44.7 %, compared with 50.9 % in R1. Peritonitis incidence improved slightly from once per 42.8 months/patient in R1 to once per 47.3 months/patient in R2. Notably, PD-related peritonitis as a cause of mortality improved markedly in R2, but outcomes of PD-related peritonitis did not change significantly between R1 and R2. In contrast, social problems increased as a reason for withdrawal from PD therapy. CONCLUSION Our efforts at education might have been useful for improving early withdrawal from PD and deaths attributable to PD-related peritonitis. However, since improvements to incidence of PD-related peritonitis were limited by education, further improvement in PD-related peritonitis incidence requires development of new sterilized connecting systems during PD-bag exchanges to decrease PD-related peritonitis opportunities. Construction of medical support systems to address social problems is required to maintain long-term PD therapy.
