Fifty-five adult patients (5 women, 50 men) on chronic peritoneal dialysis, mostly continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), for 2 to 155 mon were asked whether or not they wanted to have mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in case of sudden death. Thirty-five patients (65%) opted for CPR and 20 (36%) declined. Statistically, sex (although the number of women interviewed was too small for a valid sample) and duration of dialysis had no effect on choice of CPR, whereas older age, the presence of diabetes, advanced medical disability, and advanced socioeconomic disability were associated with a tendency to decline CPR. Among the 10 patients who had CPR, 5 developed flail chest, 4 had multiple rib fractures, and only 1 had no chest wall trauma from CPR. Two patients left the hospital alive. One third of the patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis do not want CPR. Advanced age, diabetes, and poor medical and socioeconomic states predispose peritoneal dialysis patients to decline CPR.
