What is the standard treatment for CAPD peritonitis?
Treatment
is initially aimed at treating both possible Gram +ve and
Gram --ve contaminants. This will depend on local policy,
but normally includes vancomycin for Gram +ve treatment and
either ceftazidime or an aminoglycoside for Gram --ve treatment.
Treatment is then adjusted in light of culture and sensitivity
reports.
