WARNING
Bypassing an Initial Drain when there is still fluid left in the
peritoneal cavity can result in an increased intraperitoneal
volume (IIPV) situation later in your therapy. Change your
position or sit up to aid draining completely during the
Initial Drain.
IIPV could result in a feeling of abdominal discomfort,
serious injury, or death.
If any patient, or patient caregiver, suspects the patient has
IIPV during a treatment, press STOP immediately, then
press
V
and initiate a Manual Drain. The Manual Drain
procedure is located in 18.5, Manual Drain Procedure , on
page 18-53. See 18.8, Increased Intraperitoneal Volume
(IIPV) , on page 18-58 if IIPV is suspected.
Additional care should be taken to monitor for IIPV
symptoms for those patients not able to communicate
essential information to their caregiver during treatment.
