PD Solution

[sahern]

Does anyone know if you can get a delivery of PD solution before the normal delivery time?  I was mainly using green all of the time with the occasional yellow bag.  Well something changed with my blood pressure so I ended up using all yellows and the occasional green.  I had enough supplies with my normal routine but with the change I will not have enough yellows to make it to the next normal delivery.  I will call the clinic on Monday but just wonder if anyone has received an extra delivery before. Thanks

With Fresenius, it's all up to your home care RN.   If (s)he justifies it as an Rx change, and not patient mistake, they will make extra deliveries.  Not sure how other providers work.

When I had several RX changes between regular order times, my PD nurse gave me extra yellows to tide me over.  Is that possible?

I talked to the clinic today and they are going to have Baxter do an extra delivery.  On my next order I will order enough yellow to last a month.  Even if I go back to using mostly greens I will keep plenty of yellows on hand for a change in the future. Thanks for the replies.
