Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Nocturnal home hemodialysis (NHHD) has been associated with several clinical benefits compared to conventional thrice-weekly in-center hemodialysis. However, the prevalence of NHHD remains low. To date, few studies have focused on the importance of training and education of a complex medical procedure such as NHHD. In the present review, we will describe guidelines for implementation of a NHHD program by focusing on 1) patients' selection, assessment and training; 2) challenges of adult education; 3) prescription and 4) barriers to adoption of home hemodialysis. Future challenges in research, the importance of quality assurance and innovations in clinical care delivery in NHHD will also be discussed.
