E-learning module on Dialysis Vascular Access

A well functioning dialysis vascular access is paramount for providing adequate hemodialysis. This interactive module on vascular access provides an overview of the anatomy, surgical techniques, access monitoring, cannulation methods and introduction to endovasclar interventional treatment to maintain the patency of this ‘lifeline’. A self assessment component at the end of each topic will keep the learner engaged all through the module.
