| Presentation: Rare events on dialysis
In ANZ last year there were over 2 million haemodialysis episodes and 1 million days of peritoneal dialysis, spread across more than 120 dialysis units and 7.7 million km2. Whilst much is routine and expected, rare events do occur including blood stream infections (approximately 1 per 1000 catheter days), catastrophic bleeding vascular access (1 per 1000 patient-years), air embolism, haemolysis and external disasters (earthquakes & cyclones). Sharing our learnings from these rare events are critical for patient care.
