Critically ill patients in acute renal failure on intermittent hemodialysis: Predicting episodes of hypotension by continuous blood volume monitoring.
Download2007
Tanguay, T., Jensen, L., Johnston, C.
BACKGROUND: Acute renal failure (ARF) develops in 23% of all critically ill patients. Hypotension occurs in 25% to 50% of patients during intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) for ARF.
