  • Che-Yi Chou Speaker Acute PD: Physiology, Prescription, and Technique (Surgical vs Percutaneous Implantation)Acute peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective, underutilized method for treating acute kidney injury through optimized, high-volume automated regimens. While percutaneous bedside insertion offers rapid, resource-efficient access for critically ill patients, surgical techniques provide better visualization and lower early leak rates.Prescription Design and Adjustment Exercises (Case-based discussion)This interactive, case-based discussion session focuses on the practical application of peritoneal dialysis (PD) prescription design and dynamic troubleshooting. Clinical practitioners often face challenges when translating standard PD guidelines into individualized patient care, particularly when balancing solute clearance, ultrafiltration goals, and patient lifestyle preferences. Utilizing a series of real-world patient scenarios, this session guides participants through the step-by-step process of calculating initial automated PD (APD) and continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) prescriptions based on residual renal function and peritoneal membrane transport characteristics. Participants will actively analyze clinical data from cases demonstrating inadequate clearance, fluid overload, and metabolic complications. Through hands-on exercises, attendees will learn to systematically adjust dwell times, exchange volumes, and dextrose concentrations to optimize therapy. By the conclusion of this session, participants will possess the critical thinking skills necessary to confidently manipulate PD prescription variables, manage common prescription failures, and improve long-term patient outcomes.Troubleshooting Common ICU Problems (Case-based discussion) This interactive, case-based discussion session addresses the rapid identification and management of critical mechanical, metabolic, and infectious complications in the intensive care unit. Using realistic patient scenarios, clinicians will practice troubleshooting ventilator dyssynchrony, hemodynamic instability, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) circuit alarms, and acute metabolic crises. Through hands-on exercises, participants will interpret real-time clinical data, isolate root causes, and execute immediate corrective interventions. This session equips multidisciplinary ICU teams with the critical thinking skills, diagnostic algorithms, and collaborative strategies necessary to resolve technical failures promptly and improve patient outcomes in high-stress environments.

  • Yu-Cyuan Hong Speaker Complication Management in Acute PD (UF Failure, Acidosis, Lytes, Peritonitis)Acute peritoneal dialysis remains a practical option for AKI when hemodynamic instability, coagulopathy, absent vascular access, or resource constraints limit extracorporeal therapy. Its complication profile, however, differs from that of chronic PD: the catheter is freshly placed, the membrane is acutely inflamed and often high-transport, exchanges are rapid and hypertonic. First, inadequate ultrafiltration is separated into mechanical causes (catheter malposition, omental wrap, leak to pleural or subcutaneous tracking) and membrane-prescription causes. Management follows from that division — imaging and repositioning, or shortened dwell and adjusted tonicity — rather than reflexive escalation of dextrose concentration. Electrolyte complications follow directly from the prescription: hypokalemia from potassium-free dialysate compounded by glucose-driven intracellular shift; hypernatremia from sodium sieving during short hypertonic dwells; Peritonitis in acute PD differs from its chronic counterpart. Risk is front-loaded by bedside insertion, immediate use, and repeated manual exchanges, so prevention rests on closed connectology, cycling, and minimal manipulation. Short dwells dilute the effluent cell count, making neutrophil percentage more reliable than the absolute number; in a sedated septic patient the first sign may be falling ultrafiltration.

  • Chia-Lin Wu Speaker Integration of Acute PD into AKI ProgramsAcute kidney injury (AKI) affects 30–60% of critically ill patients, and dialysis-requiring AKI carries substantial short-term mortality and long-term risk of chronic kidney disease. While continuous renal replacement therapy and intermittent hemodialysis remain the default modalities in most high-income ICUs, acute peritoneal dialysis (PD) has re-emerged as a guideline-supported, outcome-comparable alternative—particularly valuable when vascular access, anticoagulation, or extracorporeal capacity are limited. The 2020 ISPD guideline update has standardized safe prescribing, and the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that acute PD programs can be stood up rapidly under pressure, with outcomes consistent with standard care. This presentation argues that the principal barriers to integrating acute PD into AKI programs are not clinical but organizational. Drawing on international literature and regional case experience, it presents a practical framework for building a program: catheter access and prescription fundamentals; a genuine nephrology–intensivist–nursing collaborative model with defined roles and governance; structured training pathways for catheter insertion and bedside nursing delivery, including simulation-based approaches used in low-resource settings; logistics planning for supply chains, staffing, and cost; and strategies for overcoming institutional barriers such as credentialing, reimbursement, and clinician culture.

    Hsiu-Chien Yang Speaker Hands-on PD Catheter InsertionPeritoneal dialysis is a treatment option for end-stage renal disease. Percutaneous peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation is a valuable skill that nephrologists should acquire. Through this workshop and subsequent self-training assessments, nephrologists can gradually develop proficiency in this procedure, enabling more suitable patients to receive timely and appropriate peritoneal dialysis treatment.
