CAPD dialysis - request for training video
My daughter needs dialysis CAPD (manual option not APD). She has undergone operation for catheter insertion. Has anyone seen any video as to how the CAPD is performed at home - manual CAPD (not connecting to an APD machine-these are available on youtube.com). The steps beginning from draining the solution, connecting new bag, may be dressing and covering exit site etc...
can somebody post a link so that I can download? Ofcourse, I know that BAXTER will provide training but I need this in addition. Thanks in advance.

Hi i am 27 r old i was I had kidney touble when i was 15. i made it to 19 or 20 before put on dialysis..i was on it for 3&half years..had no troubles with it.but i know many people ho done the one at home it dont do as well cleaning the blood an its higher for infections..hope you think well before you choose...best of luck I use to know a site i will look see if i can find it again.
Thank you, marina, for the reply.
We are being trained by Baxter staff. But, generally, we would think in developed countries people are well trained and do things systematically using proper systems and tools etc. That's why I wanted this info.
Second reason for properly done exchange of bags.
Although we went for laproscopic operation, the doctor seems to have used some surgical forceps leading to more cut at exit site and it's still not healed up completely. But a baxter fellow said generally they use something such as 'ROD', instead of forceps, to have a whole for the catheter to come out. But one baxter nurse was present at the time of operation in the OT, I do not know whether she knows about this. The doctor is also inexperienced in this, which I came to know after the operation is performed.
Anyway thanks a lot.
Still If someone has any detailed video or some source,please post here.

Hi, you shouldn't worry to much about this, the PD nurses will train you and your daughter on how to do "exchanges"
She will not be allowed to start dialysis until she or you (and/or other family member) are well trained.
It's fairly simple to do, and the big key here is to ALWAYS wash and/or sanitize hands.
If you still want to look at training videos, you can go to Youtube and search for peritoneal dialysis, renalinfo. or http://www.baxter.com/patients_and_caregivers/therapies/renal/patient_services/pd_treatment_education.html
Baxter interviewed me regarding life on PD and what training was like. you can find those under "renalinfo" scroll down to the woman in glasses wearing purple blouse and black jacket http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=my1NuMBedrg
Hope this helps.
