The Management of the Infant on CAPD

  • Chapter
CAPD in Children

Abstract

Swan and Gordon [1] reported the use of peritoneal lavage in five children with renal failure. In the early 1960s, reports by Segar et al. [2] and Etteldorf et al. [3] popularized this form of therapy in children. In 1967 Levin and Winklestein [4] reported the use of intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD) in the treatment of a pediatric patient with chronic renal failure. However, due to the lack of a permanent peritoneal access, repeated punctures were required and dialysis was only done monthly in conjunction with vigorous dietary management, which was the main mode of therapy. The development of a chronic peritoneal access device by Palmer, which was refined by Tenckhoff [5], coupled with the development of automated cycling machines by Boen [6], provided the capability to treat patients with chronic renal failure with IPD. Counts et al. [7] initiated an IPD program in children in Seattle, and since then other centers [8–10] have described similar programs.
