It provides participants with the ability to comprehensively treat a patient with kidney failure, when they require substitution therapy, for both adult and paediatric cases. Different patients have been designed (breastfeeding infant, child, adolescent and adult patient).

The scenario allows users to:

• Programme dialysis machines.
• Create dialysis guidelines.
• Place dialysis-specific vascular access catheters.

Comprehensive information:

• Participants communicate with each other and with the patient using real-time voice-chat.
• Avatars available: 4 adults, 3 paediatric and 2 neonatal.
• Different libraries are available: Laboratory tests, image tests, electrocardiograms, etc.
• Possibility of different roles: Simulation facilitator, participant, observer.
• Possibility of interactions with patients and different medical devices.
• Possibility of dynamic physiology of the patient in response to the treatment and the different actions of the participants.
• Possibility of generating multiple cases and sessions simultaneously.
