Prevalence of Hypotension Associated With Preload Dependence During Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

Per-dialytic hypotension is common in Intensive Care Unit patients under continuous renal replacement therapy, and occurs in nearly 50% of the patients. To date, there is a lack of study having characterized the underlying mechanism of hypotension in this setting. New diagnostic methods are now available with high reliability to identify hypovolemia as the underlying cause of hypotension, among which change in cardiac index during passive leg raising may be the less affected by restrictive validity criteria. A change in cardiac index greater than 10% during this test is highly predictive of preload dependence, i.e the probability than cardiac index will increase if cardiac preload increases.

The aim of this study is then to identify, among hypotensive episodes occurring during renal replacement therapy in Intensive Care Unit patients, the percentage of episodes related to preload dependence as identified by passive leg raising.

Treatment and study plan

Hemodynamic monitoring during passive leg raising

Other

Measurement of hypotensive episodes related to preload dependance.

Primary outcomes

  1. Presence of hypotensive episode by hemodynamic monitoring

    Time frame: 7 days

    An hypotensive episode is defined as mean arterial pressure < 65 mm Hg and one of the following events :

    • Fluid administration
    • OR increase of vasopressor dose
    • OR decrease of fluid removal
  2. Preload dependence identified by cardiac index greater than 10% during passive leg raising

    Time frame: 7 days

    The passive leg raising allows to identify the percentage of hypotensive episodes related to preload dependence.

    A change in cardiac index greater than 10% during this test is highly predictive of preload dependence, i.e the probability than cardiac index will increase if cardiac preload increases.
