Article Synopsis
- Fluid overload is a serious issue in patients with End-stage Renal Disease that can result in longer hospital stays and increased mortality, highlighting the need for better management strategies.
- The study evaluated a new fluid assessment tool to enhance clinical evaluations and management related to blood pressure and fluid levels in hemodialysis patients by analyzing data from 43 patients over an 8-week period.
- Results showed that the modified tool significantly improved blood pressure control, encouraging greater involvement from healthcare providers in monitoring patient weight and fluid status, although it did not have a notable impact on changes in weight gain during dialysis.
