Randomized Crossover Trial of Blood Volume Monitoring-Guided Ultrafiltration Biofeedback to Reduce Intradialytic Hypotensive Episodes with Hemodialysis

Abstract

Biofeedback guided ultrafiltration does not reduce the occurence of intradialytic hypotensive episodes during hemodialysis. Blood volume monitoring during hemodialysis does not seem useful for reducing of the incidence of hypotensive episodes during hemodialysis.
