Dr. Guest’s book is thoroughly inclusive, starting from the early days of Peritoneal Dialysis up to the present day and any problems involved. He states bluntly at the very beginning that some countries have not yet begun to use this technique, while others have enjoyed the benefits for years. As with any medical procedure, safety is paramount, and this book covers the proper way to place catheters. It also advises the repair of any pre-existing conditions, such as hernias, that can get in the way of the catheter placement.A chapter is given on the use of Peritoneal Dialysis in obsess patients, for whom the procedure may bring further complications. Caution must be used with regard to anti-inflammatory drugs, and the catheters must be placed in a certain way so that they can be monitored, in case an infection flares up.
This is really a great book for health care professionals who are beginning a career that includes peritoneal dialysis patient management. I purchased it for a registered nurse whom I am training as a peritoneal dialysis RN. This is the second time I have purchased it for this reason. It is very readable and discusses some of the more esoteric aspects of treatment is a very understandable way. Thank you, Dr. Guest, for authoring this text.
A comprehensive manual on the theory and care of peritoneal dialysis patients. This is my "go to" book. All nephrology nurses caring for PD patients should own this excellently written book.
Love Dr. Guest and I recommend this book for any Peritoneal Dialysis Nurse!
Excellent easy book from A-Z for PD
