Abstract [sv]

Vid behandling med Peritonealdialys behöver patienten utföra ett moment där de kopplar samman sin inopererade kateter till en extern dialyspåse. Detta moment innebär stora risker för allvarliga infektioner på grund av kontaminering av känsliga delar. Mitt examensarbete syftar till att göra momentet säkrare och tryggare för patienten genom att minimera den risken. Jag ville skapa ett hjälpmedel som fortfarande engagerar patienten i kopplingsmomentet och håller ner kostnaden genom att designa kring redan befintliga dialysprodukter och undvika avancerad mekanik. Projektet tar avstamp från min tidigare erfarenhet som sjuksköterska och de observationer jag gjort rörande den här behandlingstypen

Abstract [en]

During treatment with Peritoneal dialysis the patient needs to perform a specific task of connecting their surgically placed catheter to an external bag of dialysis fluids. This specific task implicates big risks of serious infections due to contamination of sensitive parts. 

My exam project aims to make this connection safer for the patient by minimizing these risks. I wanted to design a tool that aids the patient and at the same time engage them in the connection process. To keep the costs down I chose to design around already existing dialysis components and to avoid advanced mechanics. This project takes off on my previous experience as a nurse and the observations I made regarding this treatment method.
