10.2.7 I-Drain Alarm
The Initial Drain Alarm (I-DRAIN ALARM) volume is used to determine the
minimum amount of Drain Volume expected during your Initial Drain.
WARNING
Too low an I-Drain Alarm volume can result in an
incomplete Initial Drain followed by a full Fill. This can
result in an increased intraperitoneal volume (IIPV)
situation.
See Table 10-1 on page 10-11 for the recommended
starting points when determining your optimum I-Drain
Alarm volume.
IIPV could result in a feeling of abdominal discomfort,
serious injury, or death. See page 18-58 for IIPV symptoms
or if IIPV is suspected.
Additional care should be taken to monitor for IIPV
symptoms for those patients not able to communicate
essential information to their caregiver during treatment.
