Peritoneal dialysis is performed every day, at home. You are responsbile for setting the machine up, connect and disconnect and discard all the supplies. The company will provide you with a month’s worth of supplies and you will do the rest. You are also responsible for changing the dressing around the catheter everyday. All of this has to be done according to the sterile procedures a nurse will teach you before sending you home.
