21 Prescription Management Strategies 3 Adjust dwell times to match membrane characteristics High/High Average greatest UF in the first hours of the dwell so can tolerate shorter dwells Low/Low Average maintain the osmotic gradient longer and should have longer dwells to optimize the therapy Manage the long dwell Careful review of flow sheets Monitor for changes in membrane characteristics 3 Guest S. Volume management in PD therapy. In: Handbook of Peritoneal Dialysis. 2nd ed. San Bernardino, California. 2014: USMP/MG1/ /16 21
