Pneumatic Compression Stockings During Hemodialysis

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Hemodialysis
• Interventions: Device: Pneumatic Compression Stockings

• 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.
