Hypotensive crises: identifying the high-risk patient on hemodialysis
Abstract:
Hypotensive crises in patients on hemodialysis remains a substantial problem for both patient and nurse. Awareness of its causes, research-develop assessment tools, and their application in the field may minimize this problem. Nurses play a prominent role in a patient's hypotensive crisis by administering, monitoring, and evaluating the effectiveness of intervention measures used to reverse this hemodynamic state. This study has provided a nursing assessment tool that will enable nurses to predict systolic risk levels and aid them in deciding when to initiate intervention measures.

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
