  • Application of Continuous Quality Improvement in Laparoscopic Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Input

    ObjectiveTo reduce the incidence of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter complications through a continuous quality improvement (CQI) process. MethodsTwenty-nine patients with catheters inserted (from January 2011 to March 2011) before CQI, and another 41 patients with catheters inserted (between April 2011 and January 2012) after CQI were observed and analyzed. The possible causes of complications of catheter were summarized, and then on the basis of that, a PDCA four-step (plan-do-check-act) method was designed with a view to reducing the incidence of postoperative complications. ResultsPD catheter dysfunction decreased from 6.90% to 2.44%. The incidence of leakage decreased from 44.83% to 9.76%. ConclusionCQI is a useful method to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications of PD catheter in peritoneal dialysis.
