Peritonitis - does peritoneal dialysis modality make a difference?

abstract：:The effects of pulsatile perfusion on microcirculation and renal function in high-risk patients were evaluated in this study. Pulsatile roller pumps with a pulsatile control module and membrane oxygenator were used in a clinical setting. 40 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with a high risk of either having...
