First 8 Months • Re-evaluation evaluation of resources required: – Realization that current nursing resources were actually inadequate – Timeliness of PD catheter access now affected by nursing availability rather than surgeon or OR access • Planned PD catheter insertions not a problem • “Crash on” patients still a problem – Not always able to accommodate urgent catheter insertion – Even more difficult to find nursing time to train unexpected patients – These patients are still ending up on HD with temporary lines
Future Plans – Additional funding • Formal RIH PD catheter bedside insertion project proposed and approved June 2008 – Explore – 2 year project with 2 days per week of dedicated nursing time • Assist in catheter insertions and initial training • Develop policies and procedures based on best practice guidelines • Collection and compilation of stats for evaluation • Peritoneoscopic placement • Fluoroscopic confirmation of positioning
