Comparison of Blood Pressure Values Measured Routinely with the Values Measured Accordingly to the Standards in Hemodialysis

Abstract

Objective: In this study, we investigated how predialysis and post-dialysis blood pressure values measured in routine practice differ from the blood pressure values measured accordingly to the standards, as suggested by the guidelines. Material and Methods: This study was performed with 76 hemodialysis patients. After the patients came to the hemodialysis center, blood pressure measurement was performed accordingly to the standards as recommended by the guidelines. After the standard blood pressure of the patients were measured, routine predialysis blood pressures were measured. After dialysis was completed, post-dialysis blood pressure measurements of patients accordingly to routine and standards were performed. Results: The mean predialysis standard systolic blood pressure (SBP) value was lower than the mean routine SBP value (129 ± 25 vs.134 ± 25 mmHg; p< 0.0001). The mean predialysis standard diastolic blood pressure (DBP) value as well as lower than the mean routine DBP value (74 ± 12 vs. 77 ± 14 mmHg; p<0.0001). The mean post-dialysis SBP values were not significantly different between the standard and routine measurements (115 ± 24 vs 113 ± 26; p>0.05). The mean post-dialysis standard DBP measurement was higher than the routine DBP (71±12 vs. 68±14 mmHg; p=0.043). Conclusion: Predialysis standard SBP and DBP measurements are usually lower than the routine measurements.

Hemodiyalizde Rutinde Ölçülen Kan Basıncı Değerlerinin Standartlara Uygun Ölçülen Kan Basıncı Değerleri ile Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmada hemodiyaliz öncesi ve sonrası rutin pratikte ölçülen kan basıncı değerlerinin hemodiyaliz öncesi ve sonrası kılavuzların önerdiği şekilde standartlara uygun ölçülen kan basıncı değerlerinden ne kadar farklı olduğunu araştırdık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma 76 hemodiyaliz hastası ile gerçekleştirildi. Hastalar hemodiyaliz merkezine geldikten sonra kılavuzların önerdiği şekilde standartlara uygun kan basıncı ölçümü yapıldı. Hastaların standart kan basıncı ölçüldükten sonra diyaliz öncesi rutin kan basınçları ölçüldü. Diyaliz tamamlandıktan sonra hastaların diyaliz sonrası rutin ve standartlara uygun kan basıncı ölçümleri yapıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların hemodiyaliz öncesi standartlara uygun ölçülen sistolik kan basıncı (SKB) ortalaması, rutin ölçülen SKB ortalamasından daha düşüktü (129 ± 25 vs.134 ± 25 mm Hg; p< 0.0001). Hemodiyaliz öncesi standart diyastolik kan basıncı (DKB) ortalaması da, rutin DKB ortalamasından daha düşüktü (74 ± 12 vs. 77 ± 14 mm Hg; p<0.0001). Hemodiyaliz sonrası ölçümlerde ise standart SKB ortalaması ile rutin SKB ortalaması arasında anlamlı fark yoktu (115 ± 24 vs 113 ± 26; p>0.05). Hemodiyaliz sonrası standart DKB ortalaması, rutin DKB ortalamasından daha yüksek idi (71 ± 12 vs. 68 ± 14 mm Hg; p=0.043). Sonuç: Hemodiyaliz öncesi standartlara uygun ölçülen SKB ve DKB, rutin ölçümlere göre sıklıkla daha düşüktür.
