NURSE & TECHNICIAN PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Integrated Hemodialysis/Peritoneal Dialysis Course
Tuesday, April 13, 2010 | 7:00 am – 5:15 pm
Course Co-Directors: Joanne Bargman, MD and John Burkart, MD
Session 221, 8.0 credits
Target Audience:
This course is designed for nephrologists, nephrology fellows, advanced practitioners, and nephrology nurses.
Course Description:
This course will deliver an integrated and comprehensive approach to the physiologic underpinnings and “nuts and bolts” of chronic dialysis therapy. Approach to the optimal management of chronic dialysis patients with respect to extracellular fluid volume control, solute removal, access complications, and other infectious and non-infectious complications will be discussed for both peritoneal and hemodialysis. These issues will be bookended by a lecture on patient education including modality choice and by a discussion on what the new CMS reimbursement rules will mean for those looking after dialysis patients.
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the physiology and techniques of peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis.
- Distinguish the relationship between clinical outcomes and different renal replacement modalities to treat chronic kidney disease.
- State the basis and practical application of dialysis dose prescription in peritoneal and hemodialysis.
- Recall the infectious and noninfectious complications of peritoneal and hemodialysis.
- Describe the importance of proper access in both peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis and potential complications of access problems.
- Identify treatment-related complications in peritoneal and hemodialysis and discuss potential treatment strategies.
