Trial summary

An intraperitoneal implanted catheter is always necessary to perform Peritoneal Dialysis. Catheter insertion has been associated with infectious complication such as Exit Site Infection (ESI), Tunnel Infection and Peritonitis. The last one may lead to loss of the technique because the need of catheter removal. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Post - Surgical Intraperitoneal Antibiotics Administration Vs. Intravenous Pre- Surgical Administration for the Prevention of Peritonitis After Insertion of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

An intraperitoneal implanted catheter is always necessary to perform Peritoneal Dialysis. Catheter insertion has been associated with infectious complication such as Exit Site Infection (ESI), Tunnel Infection and Peritonitis. The last one may lead to loss of the technique because the need of catheter removal. Most of international guidelines recommends the use of prophylactic antibiotics. Different protocols has been used, mostly intravenous single injection before the procedure. For the last 25 years our unit gives a single intraperitoneal dose of Cefazolin immediately after the catheter insertion. The aim of this study is compare the effect of a pre- operative IV dose os Cefazolin with a post- procedure intraperitoneal single dose administration of the same drug.
