| Workshop Description: | A practical and interactive workshop focused on the principles and technique of ultrasound-guided peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion. Participants will receive an overview lecture, followed by small-group rotations across multiple stations covering catheter setup, ultrasound localization of abdominal landmarks, real-time needle tracking on gelatin models, and PD exchanges (CAPD and APD). The workshop aims to enhance nephrologists’ and interventional radiologists’ confidence and precision in performing and managing PD access. |
