About this trial
This single-center, crossover randomized controlled trial (HyPIR-ICU) investigates whether a Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI)-guided management strategy can reduce intradialytic hypotension (IDH) during prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy (PIRRT) in critically ill patients. All participants must have an indwelling arterial catheter for continuous hemodynamic monitoring.

Crossover
Treatments tested in this trial
Hypotensive prediction index
DeviceThe HPI, developed by Edwards Lifesciences and integrated into the HemosphereⓇ hemodynamic monitoring system, is an algorithm-based tool that predicts hypotensive events before they occur, allowing earlier intervention. While this tool has shown benefit in surgical and post-operative settings, it has not been tested in ICU patients undergoing dialysis.
Standard of care monitoring
DeviceStandard of Care * Monitoring via conventional invasive BP and clinical judgment * Use of physical exam, CVP, PPV, and response-based decisions (fluid bolus, vasopressors)
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
- Time-weighted average mean arterial pressure <65 mmHg (TWA-MAP<65 mmHg)
Average intensity and duration of time that a patient's mean arterial pressure (MAP) falls below 65 mmHg, which is considered the critical threshold for maintaining adequate organ perfusion.
Secondary outcomes
Intradialytic hypotension frequency by various definitions
* Nadir90: Minimal intra-hemodialytic SBP\<90 mmHg * Fall20: Pre-hemodialysis SBP - Minimal intra-hemodialytic SBP \>20 mmHg * Fall20Nadir90: Meet criteria for Nadir 90 and Fall20 * HEMO: Fall in SBP resulting in intervention of UF reduction, blood flow reduction, or intervention administration
Delivered UF/Prescribed UF
* Prescribed UF (Ultrafiltration): The amount of fluid (in milliliters or liters) * Delivered UF: The actual amount of fluid successfully removed during the session. * This ratio reflects the efficacy of fluid removal.
Incidence of tachycardia or significant arrhythmia
Incidence of tachycardia or significant arrhythmia: defined by HR\>130 bpm or HR increase \>20% from pre-hemodialysis baseline for \>15 min
Reaction time to treatment
Reaction time to treatment refers to the interval between the detection of a hypotensive event (or risk of it) and the initiation of appropriate clinical intervention
