Introduction: Patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) experience frequent hemodialysis (HD) complications. Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common complication presenting in approximately between 20 and 50% of HD sessions. Available interventions such as volume replacement or vasoactive medications are associated with significant side effects. Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) has been proposed as a feasible intervention for the prevention of IDH, treatment of peripheral arterial disease and venous ulcers. These devices apply intermittent pressure to the legs improving arterial blood flow, mobilization of pooled blood with an increase in venous return increasing the effective circulatory volume. Our goal was to identify the published clinical evidence on whether IPC has a circulatory benefit and is it well‐tolerated among patients receiving HD. Methods: We conducted a systematic review to identify studies assessing the efficacy and safety of IPC in patients with ESRD. Our primary outcome was IDH. Secondary outcomes such as HD comfort, ultrafiltration volume, and physical activity were collected. No restrictions where used and we included all observational and interventional studies. Two reviewers performed screening and study quality assessment. Findings: We included seven studies. Out of the seven studies, five addressed IDH, and the rest were included for secondary outcomes such as physical capacity and HD comfort. In one randomized crossover trial comparing exercise against IPC, 21 patients were randomized to 3 different arms (no intervention, cycling, IPC) a decrease in the rates of IDH with IPC was described (43%, 38%, and 24% respectively P = 0.014). The smaller studies corroborated these results. All studies where at high risk of bias. Discussion: IPC might offer significant benefits for patients undergoing HD not limited to prevention of IDH but also improvement of hemodialysis comfort and physical capacity. However, our results should be interpreted in the context of its limitations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
