Effects of Resistance Exercise on Blood Pressure Variability and Blood Pressure in Patients with Frequent Intra-dialytic Hypotension / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effects of resistance exercise on intradialytic blood pressure variability and the lowest blood pres-sure. Methods From September, 2015 to March, 2016, 80 patients with intradialytic hypotension frequently during maintenance hemodialy-sis were included, and divided into control group (n=40) and intervention group (n=40) by drawing lots. Both groups accepted routine nurs-ing, while the intervention group accepted resistance exercise during hemodialysis. The coefficient of variation (CV) of blood pressure and the lowest blood pressure were compared twelve weeks later. Results The CV of systolic blood pressure was less in the intervention group than in the control group (t=-4.356, P4.122, P<0.001). Conclusion Resistance exercise may reduce the intradialytic systolic blood pressure variability and increase the lowest blood pressure in pa-tients with frequent intradialytic hypotension.
