Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The study parameters are ISTI, delta-ISTI (respiratory variation in ISTI), RR-interval, delta-RR (respiratory variation in RR-interval), ISTI/RR, delta-ISTI/RR (respiratory variation in ISTI) systolic, diastolic and mean bloodpressure, haematocrit value and calf impedance. Also the occurrence of hypotensive periods will be recorded. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Relative blood volume (RBV), total bodywater, extracellular water and calf extracellular resistance in order to compare parameters derived from ISTI with more traditional markers of haemodynamic status during haemodialyis . These markers will be combined in order to establish the most predictive model for the occurrence of intradialytic hypotension. Also descriptive and anthropometric data will be collected. | — |
