Abstract/Synopsis
High intraperitoneal pressure (IPP) in PD patients has been linked to clinical issues such as abdominal fullness, mechanical complications (eg PD fluid leaks, herniae) and reduced ultrafiltration. Studying IPP is challenging as the current method of manual fluid manometry is cumbersome to perform routinely in clinical practice. A device that simplifies the regular measurement of IPP may assist clinicians to adjust prescribed fill volumes (V) and reduce IPP. This study focused on determining whether it was possible to use a pressure-transducer to derive IPP measurements and if they were related to manually acquired IPP measurements and PD fill volumes.
