From: Which clinical conditions are most suitable for induction of automated peritoneal dialysis?
Various schedules of dwell time in peritoneal dialysis (PD) to help select modalities of PD. Typhical pattern of continuous ambulatory PD is shown in a. We have the ability to select various options for PD menus after induction of automated PD (APD), which are shown in b. Flexibility in the PD menu allows for adjustment to various lifestyles of PD patients in addition to managing the increase in total PD volume for adequacy of dialysis and shortening each dwell time for enough ultrafiltration. As an alternative methods, tidal PD was a choice of PD (c). Solid orange area shows dwells of the cyclers. CCPD continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis, TAPD tidal automated peritoneal dialysis, NPD nocturnal PD
