IDH occurs in response to the reduction in blood volume during ultrafiltration and subsequent poor compensatory mechanisms due to abnormal cardiac function or autonomic or baroreceptor failure. Pediatric patients are inherently at risk for IDH due to the added difficulty of determining and attaining an accurate dry weight. While frequent blood pressure monitoring, dialysate sodium profiling, ultrafiltration guided blood volume monitoring, dialysate cooling, hemodiafiltration, and intradialytic mannitol and midodrine have been used to prevent IDH, they have not been extensively studied in pediatric population. Lack of large-scale studies on IDH in children makes it difficult to develop evidence based management guidelines. Here we aim to review IDH preventative strategies in the pediatric population and outlay recommendations from the Pediatric Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (PCRRT) Workgroup. Without strong evidence in the literature, our recommendations from the expert panel reflect expert opinion and serves as a valuable guide.}, issn = {0931-041X}, author = {Raina, R and Lam, S and Raheja, H and Krishnappa, V and Hothi, D and Davenport, A and Chand, D and Kapur, G and Schaefer, F and Kumar Sethi, S and McCulloch, M and Bagga, A and Bunchman, T and Warady, B}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s00467-018-4190-1}, keywords = {Intradialytic hypotension, children, blood pressure monitoring, sodium profiling, blood volume monitoring, dialysate cooling, mannitol, midodrine} }
