Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) has now become an established form of renal replacement therapy in children. Despite of technical improvements, there are various complications in CAPD. We reviewed medical records of children who received CAPD at Seoul National University Children's Hospital in the period between May 1991 and June 2002. Ninety-three procedures of CAPD catheter insertion in 70 patients were included in this study. Complication rate was 64.5%, and CAPD catheter related peritonitis was most common. In conclusion, CAPD catheter related peritonitis develops in considerable number of pediatric patients. Although the peritonitis could be treated with empirical antibiotics therapy, further investigation to prevent complication is required.

목적: 소아 복막 투석 환자에서 복막염의 특징과 International Society for Peritoneal dialysis의 가이드라인에 따른 경험적 항생제 치료가 적절한지 분석하였다. 방법: 2000년 3월부터 2012년 2월까지 서울아산병원 소아과에서 복막 투석을 한 경험이 있는 72명의 환자들을 대상으로 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 복막 투석을 받은 32명의 환자에서 79회의 복막염이 발생하여 발생빈도는 0.43회/환자 년이었고 복막 투석 방식에 따른 복막염의 발생 빈도는 차이가 없었다(P=0.459). 또한 21명의 환자가 51회의 복막 도관 감염을 경험하였고 도관 감염의 발생 빈도는 0.28회/환자 년이었다. 복막 도관 감염에 따른 복막염의 발생 빈도는 차이가 없었다(P=0.721). 79회의 복막염 중 68.4%에서 균이 동정되었으며, 그람 양성균 중 85.3%가 ${\beta}$-lactam계 항생제에 감수성이 있었고 그람 음성 막대균 중 94.7%가 ceftazidime에 감수성이 있었다. 균이 동정되지 않은 복막염 중에는 92.0%에서 cefazolin과 ceftazidme에 치료 반응을 보였다. 결론: 복막 투석 환자에서 복막염의 발생 빈도는 0.43회/환자 년이었고, 복막염에 대한 치료로 cefazolin과 ceftazidime의 초기 경험적 항생제 투여는 복막염의 91.1%에서 적절하였다. 그러나 내성 균주에 대한 지속적인 감시가 필요하다.

Mesenteric injury occurs rarely in cases associated with blunt abdominal trauma. Despite its low incidence, mesenteric injury can lead to fatal outcomes such as hypovolemic shock due to hemoperitoneum or sepsis due to intestinal ischemia, or perforation-related peritonitis. For mesenteric injuries, especially those involving massive bleeding, intestinal ischemia, and perforation, the standard treatment is surgery. However, in the case of operative management, it should be borne in mind that there is a possibility of complications and mortality during and after surgery. The usefulness of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is well known in solid organs but is controversial for mesenteric injury. We present a 75-year-old man with mesenteric injury due to blunt abdominal trauma. Initial abdominal computed tomography showed no hemoperitoneum, but a mesenteric contusion and pseudoaneurysm with a diameter of 17 mm were observed near the origin of the superior mesenteric artery. Since there were no findings requiring emergency surgery such as free air or intestinal ischemia, it was decided to perform nonoperative management with TAE using microcoils in hybrid emergency room system. TAE was performed successfully, and there were no complications such as bleeding, bowel ischemia, or delayed bowel perforation. He was discharged on the 23rd day after admission with percutaneous catheter drainage for drainage of mesenteric hematoma. The authors believe that treatment with TAE for highly selected elderly patients with mesenteric injuries has the positive aspect of minimally invasive management, considering the burden of general anesthesia and the various avoidable intraoperative and postoperative complications.
