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.
