WARNING

result in an increased intraperitoneal volume (IIPV) situation. A
negative UF value can result in a greater potential for IIPV. Press

IIPV can 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

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.
