Clinical Practice Session

Personalizing Care in Dialysis Vascular Access: Putting the Patient First

October 22, 2020 | 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Location: On-Demand

Session Description

Viable vascular access is the lifeline for the hemodialysis patient. Maintaining the long-term function of vascular access is dependent on both biological factors and patient selection. This session presents innovative biological approaches for more personalized vascular access selection and treatment in combination with an individualized ESKD life plan.

Learning Objective(s)

• Discuss the use of biological and clinical approaches to individualize vascular access selection and therapies
• Assess vascular access strategies in unique patient populations requiring a vascular access
• Summarize the cardiovascular effects of arteriovenous access placement and approaches to diagnose and mitigate cardiac dysfunction
• Describe a patient-centered and individualized approach to vascular access planning

Learning Pathway(s)

• Dialysis
• Chronic Kidney Disease

Moderators

• Dirk M. Hentschel, MD, FASN
