Abstract: ObjectiveTo explore the effects of resistance exercise on intradialytic blood pressure variability and the lowest blood pressure. MethodsFrom September, 2015 to March, 2016, 80 patients with intradialytic hypotension frequently during maintenance hemodialysis were included, and divided into control group (n=40) and intervention group (n=40) by drawing lots. Both groups accepted routine nursing, while the intervention group accepted resistance exercise during hemodialysis. The coefficient of variation (CV) of blood pressure and the lowest blood pressure were compared twelve weeks later. ResultsThe CV of systolic blood pressure was less in the intervention group than in the control group (t=-4.356, P<0.001), while the lowest blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic, were more (t>4.122, P<0.001). ConclusionResistance exercise may reduce the intradialytic systolic blood pressure variability and increase the lowest blood pressure in patients with frequent intradialytic hypotension.

Key words: hemodialysis, intradialytic hypotension, resistance exercise, blood pressure variability
