ABSTRACT

Introduction: Infection in the peritoneal catheter’s insertion site is a frequent complication, the origin of peritonitis and lost of the catheter. Nursing care include assessment and recording of data that suggest a satisfactory evolution or an opportune detection of complications, which should be documented in an concrete, concise, complete and suitable way.
Objective: Identify the percentage of nursing staff that assess and record the primary signs of infection in the peritoneal catheter’s insertion site in pediatric patients.
Methodology: With a conventional sample of 100 nurses that assisted pediatric patients with treatment of peritoneal dialysis, it was evaluated the procedures of assessment and recording of primary signs of infection in the peritoneal catheter’s insertion site. The data was collected in the form called Clinic Recording, Treatments, and Nursing Observations (4-30-61/86). The analysis was done with descriptive statistic.
Results: Only 6% from the nursing staff assess and record the peritoneal catheter’s insertion site; that proportion corresponds to registered nurses. The data registered with major frequency are: infection and secretion discharge, literally referred them.
Conclusions: An appropriate assessment and data recording from nursing staff about primary signs of infection, provides an opportunity to detect, prevent peritonitis, and the consequent lost of the peritoneal catheter.
