Microcomputer Peritoneal Programmer in Service of Acute Peritoneal Dialysis
A microcomputer peritoneal programmer is described. It allows control of peritoneal fluid instillation volume and rate, includes an alarm system, provides data printouts and facilitates patient care. It is especially recommended for control of fluid balance in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis for acute renal failure.
Introduction ::: The purpose of this study is to compare the tissue incorporation of a novel fenestrated and non-fenestrated crosslinked porcine dermal matrix (CPDM) (CollaMend™, Davol Inc., Warwick, RI) in a porcine model of ventral hernia repair.
