Continuous Cycling Peritoneal Dialysis is done at night, while you sleep. The process takes 8-10 hours. Here, you would need to connect the catheter to a machine called the 'CYCLER'. The CYCLER throughout the night does the bag exchanges automatically.
This is useful and a convenient form of dialysis especially for patients who are working. It also means that it is not necessary to do 3 to 4 exchanges in the daytime hence the chances of infections are less. |
