In Zimbabwe, where access to pediatric kidney replacement therapy can be particularly challenging, skills gained through a Saving Young Lives (SYL) course helped make a life-saving intervention possible. Dr. Linos Sibanda recently shared the story of an 8-day-old baby boy who presented to his team at just seven days of age with severe hypernatremic dehydration […]

At the Tambacounda Regional Hospital, located approximately 480 km from Dakar, we recently performed acute peritoneal dialysis on an 8-year-old girl with severe malaria complicated by acute kidney injury. On admission, the patient had a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 9/15, a blood urea level of 3.4 g/L, and a serum creatinine level of 84 […]

After participating in the Saving Young Lives (SYL) workshop held in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, we had the opportunity to immediately apply the knowledge and skills we had acquired to provide kidney replacement therapy to a critically ill pediatric patient. Last Thursday, we admitted a 4-month-old infant with mixed shock (septic and cardiogenic), severe left ventricular […]

An inspiring success story from Dr. Rojas in Estelí, Nicaragua: following the SYL training in Bolivia, she successfully performed her first dialysis catheter placement using a central venous (CV) line—the equipment she had available. Even more remarkably, she was teaching the pediatric surgeon throughout the procedure. A wonderful example of resourcefulness, knowledge transfer, and the […]

刘义春（Yi-Chun Liu）在肾脏病学领域不断反思和成长的历程，从作为一名初级住院医师时在置入双腔导管时遇到的早期挑战，到通过指导和实践经验获得信心。这位临床医生高度关注患者安全和精确度，强调在复杂病例中越来越多地使用实时超声引导，并通过国际研讨会和教学岗位不断提升在腹膜透析导管置入方面的专业知识。这个故事捕捉了一个持续的学习、实践和知识共享的循环，其目的是改善对危重患者的护理。.

SYL 卓越的成功故事，展示了成长与影响力——前学员 Mynor 现在身在危地马拉，亲自培训儿科住院医师。这段鼓舞人心的旅程体现了 SYL 传播的知识如何不断生长和倍增，创造了一个持久的学习和指导循环，从而加强了医疗保健系统。.

斐济 WCN’26 横滨 PD 工作坊参与者 Joseph Tigarea 的一个鼓舞人心的 SYL 成功故事。他成功完成了首次独立腹膜透析 (PD) 导管植入手术，这标志着加强当地 PD 能力的关键一步。在手术过程中，他还培训了三名住院医师，其中一人现在有信心能够独立进行下一次植入手术。该团队通过创新和适应性，成功使用了 12F Cook 胸腔闭式引流管。这个故事突显了实践培训、指导和协作在扩大挽救生命的 PD 护理可及性方面产生的实际影响，并赋能临床医生在当地社区建立可持续的技能。.

这是一则来自 WCN’26 横滨 PD 工作坊学员 Bimala Baniya 在尼泊尔加德满都的成功事迹，她成功地为一名情况危急、资源有限的 2 岁儿童进行了救生腹膜透析（PD）治疗。她在一家没有血液透析的政府儿科医院工作，在仅有的选择中，她使用了硬质 PD 导管，确保了患儿得到了紧急治疗。她的经历体现了对患者护理的深切奉献，以及积极倡导“PD 优先”政策、改善儿童肾脏替代疗法可及性的坚定承诺。这个故事突显了教育、韧性和全球合作在推动全球公平 PD 护理方面的影响。.
