OVERVIEW

Controversies in Dialysis Access (CiDA) and Simulation of Dialysis Access (SoDA) is organized by Complete Conference Management (CCM) and would be held during Oct 20 - 21, 2016 at Hilton Austin Hotel, Austin, Texas, United States of America. This CME conference has been approved with a maximum of 13.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of surgeons, interventional radiologists, nephrologists, and medical staff who care for dialysis access patients.

CiDA Learning Objectives :
Upon completion of this activity, the learner should be able to:
• Explain ways to improve training in order to make sound clinical decisions.
• Recognize the benefits of Human Factor training, including effective communication in a multidisciplinary team setting to advance the care of dialysis patients.
• Assess the benefits and drawbacks of different dialysis options to provide optimal care.
• Compare the risks and benefits of peritoneal versus hemodialysis when selecting modes of dialysis access.
• Identify advances in nontraditional approaches for arteriovenous access intervention.
• Determine how best to make clinical decisions for patients with central vein pathology.
• Discuss factors that contribute to patient safety during dialysis access surgery and intervention

SoDA Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Identify and cannulate internal jugular vein for dialysis catheter placement using ultrasound.
• Explain the use and benefits of ultrasound vascular mapping for selection of best hemodialysis access.
• Demonstrate how to use ultrasound for needle cannulation of dialysis access conduits for hemodialysis.
• Learn the skills of balloon angioplasty and stent placement in an arm dialysis access computer simulator.
• Determine what tools to use in open and interventional access surgery.
• Describe various vascular anastomosis suturing techniques for dialysis access.
• Recall the order of surgical steps in common access procedures that utilize access surgical instruments and tools.
• Recognize the role and value of simulation in training for dialysis access.
