Randomized Controlled TrialRandomized Crossover Trial of Blood Volume Monitoring-Guided Ultrafiltration Biofeedback to Reduce Intradialytic Hypotensive Episodes with Hemodialysis.
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is associated with morbidity. The effect of blood volume-guided ultrafiltration biofeedback, which automatically adjusts fluid removal rate on the basis of blood volume parameters, on the reduction of IDH was tested in a randomized crossover trial. ⋯ The use of blood volume monitoring-guided ultrafiltration biofeedback in patients prone to IDH did not reduce the rate of symptomatic IDH events.
