thank youfor the reply but peritoneal dialysis is not an option in this case. Also when it cames to the heamodialysis of the children in the childrens hospital then it is our unit that does it so the neonatal nurse would not be to helpful with the machine or lines. This is a learning curve for all of us even the medical staff.
