WCN24-1008 LOW-COST HOME-MADE MODELS FOR REAL-TIME ULTRASOUNDGUIDED KIDNEY BIOPSY AND DIALYSIS CATHETER INSERTION

2024Open accessMansoura University

Abstract

Training young nephrologists in interventional nephrology is an unmet need, especially in developing countries. Theoretical knowledge is easy to test, however, applying it in practice reveals potential errors. Training on real patients raises ethical concerns, as participants may feel stressed, and patients may feel anxious if they perceive themselves as teaching tools. There are available kidney biopsy models, but their costs are way beyond the financial ability of medical facilities in developing countries.
