Controversies in Dialysis Access (CiDA) and Simulation of Dialysis Access (SoDA) - Vascular Access Simulation Training

Controversies in Dialysis Access (CiDA) and Simulation of Dialysis Access (SoDA) - Vascular Access Simulation Training is organized by Complete Conference Management (CCM) and will held from Oct 30 - Nov 01, 2019 at Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, San Diego, California, United States of America.

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.

Description:
The Controversies in Dialysis Access (CiDA) meeting is the leading educational forum for surgeons, radiologists, nephrologists and medical staff who care for dialysis access patients. We embrace controversy, reject bias and invite input from faculty and attendees alike…This is what sets CiDA apart. CiDA was founded on the belief that continuing medical education must also be entertaining and enjoyable. To keep things interesting, more than half of the CiDA meeting comprises lively debates and case presentations during which audience participation drives discussion to the heart of controversy. Question-and-answer sessions and interactive real-time audience polling ensure that all attendees have a voice during the meeting and can add their own experiences to the conversation.

The Simulation of Dialysis Access (SoDA) is an intensive half-day hands-on course teaches improved surgical and interventional skills, as well as confidence in physician decision making. SoDA includes the following training programs:
• Cannulation
• Hemodialysis (HD) Essentials
• Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) Essentials
• Interventional Tools, Techniques & Expert Takeaways
• Surgical Tools, Techniques & Expert Takeaways
• Conduit Suture for Vascular Anastamosis
• Further Learning and Future Training

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, the learner should be able to:
• Assess ways to improve training in order to make sound clinical decisions.
• Recognize the benefits of effective communication in a multidisciplinary team setting to advance the care of dialysis patients.
• Analyze the benefits and drawbacks of different dialysis options for patients who need renal replacement.
• Identify risks and benefits of peritoneal and hemodialysis.
• Compare nontraditional approaches for arteriovenous access creation and intervention.
• Determine how best to make clinical decisions for patients with thoracic central vein obstruction (TCVO).
• Discuss factors that contribute to patient safety during dialysis access surgery and catheter-based intervention.

SODA Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Recognize the role and value of simulation in training for dialysis access.
• Evaluate dialysis access e-learning modules.
• Explain the use and benefits of ultrasound vascular mapping for selection of optimal hemodialysis access surgical success.
• Demonstrate how to perform hemodialysis access angiography and angioplasty.
• Learn the skills of balloon angioplasty and stent placement.
• Determine what tools to use in surgical and interventional access procedures.
• Describe various approaches for the treatment of thoracic central vein obstruction (TCVO).

Time: 7:00 am - 4:00 pm
