Continuous measurement of pulse arrival time for identification of blood pressure changes in patients undergoing hemodialysis—a feasibility study
The study demonstrates that tracking BP changes using PAT as a non-invasive method in hemodialysis patients is feasible. However, the reliability of PAT measurements appears to vary among patients, indicating that this method may not be universally applicable. The observed inverse association between PAT and BP changes, especially during the start to middle phase of dialysis, highlights the potential of this technique to complement traditional monitoring methods. These exploratory findings open avenues for further research to validate the utility of PAT, particularly in predicting IDH episodes and assessing its behavior in scenarios of low BP or minimal variations.
