ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the curative effect of infection caused by peritoneal dialysis(PD) catheter. Methods Eighty patients with infections caused by peritoneal dialysis catheter were enrolled in this study and randomized into silver-containing hydrofiber dressing group and control group with 40 patients in each group. The control group was treated with iodophor and/or gentamicin and the treatment group with silver-containing hydrofiber dressings. The two groups were compared in terms of curative effect at the wounds and time for cure. Result The cure rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the cure time in the observation group was significantly shorter as compared to the control group. Conclusion Silver-containing hydrofiber dressing is effective in the treatment of PD catheter-induced infections , and it can shorten treatment duration and reduce the frequency of dressing change.
