CHR Citadelle

Multicentric, observational and longitudinal prospective evaluation of build-in-software data telemonitoring of home ventilators in patients using Home Mechanical Ventilation in Belgium.

ActiCIDP is a monocentric academic study. Patients with Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuritis may be included on a voluntary basis.
The investigators plan to include a group of approximately 40 patients with CIDP.
The investigators have planned to assess patient every three months for a year. After each visit, participants will wear Actimyo for one month daily.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the most frequent modality of home dialysis for patients with kidney failure.
Most PD catheters are placed using a laparoscopic technique. This approach requires the availability of a qualified surgeon, time in the operating theater and general anaesthesia for the patient. Thus, the laparoscopic technique is less suitable for patients with severe heart failure or multimorbidity where general anaesthesia is not possible.
PD catheters can also be inserted using a percutaneous strategy using a modified Seldinger technique. This strategy can be performed bedside under local anaesthesia, by the nephrologist, radiologist, a surgeon, physician assistant or qualified nurse.
The availability of the percutaneous implantation strategy of a PD catheter in a nephrology center may accomodate more patients to receive a PD catheter insertion, including those who have a contraindication to general anaesthesia or need urgent PD.
The PREDICT project aims to increase knowledge and competencies on percutaneous PD catheter insertions by training centers for this technique. By establisching a prospective registry, the outcomes of percutaneously inserted PD catheters, both in experienced and newly trained centers, will be assessed.
