Pneumatic Compression Stockings During Hemodialysis
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
 - Hemodialysis
 
- Registration Number
 - NCT01067170
 
- Lead Sponsor
 - University of Calgary
 
- Brief Summary
 This study aims to determine the effect of pneumatic compression devices (PCDs) on central blood volume in hemodialysis patients. We hypothesize that PCDs will help maintain central blood volume, and therefore prevent sudden decreases in blood pressure during hemodialysis.
