pericardial effusion. Patients and care partners should
watch for the potential signs of IIPV. These include:
 Difficulty breathing
 Vomiting or spitting up
 Feeling full, bloated, or overfilled after treatment
 Abdominal pain or discomfort
 Expanded or tense abdomen
 Chest pain
 Increased blood pressure
 Change in mental status
 Leakage of fluid from the PD catheter exit site
If you experience any of these symptoms or feel a large,
painful build-up of pressure during your fill, do not finish
your fill cycle. Press the STOP key and immediately
initiate a STAT Drain as instructed by your PD nurse. See
page 184 for more information on how to use the STAT
Drain feature. Once the fluid is completely drained from
your abdomen, call your doctor, practitioner, or PD nurse.
