WARNING
Connect yourself only when CONNECT YOURSELF appears
on the display screen.
Connecting yourself before CONNECT YOURSELF appears
can cause air to be delivered to your peritoneal cavity. This
can result in shoulder and abdominal pain.
This can also result in an increased intraperitoneal volume
(IIPV) situation if you had fluid in your peritoneal cavity
prior to the Initial Drain.
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.
