Study designRandomised controlled cross-over trial
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study type Participant information sheet
Scientific titleA randomised controlled cross-over trial of 0.5 mmol/L versus 1.0 mmol/L dialysate magnesium to abrogate dialysis-induced myocardial stunning
Study objectivesIncreasing dialysate magnesium will abrogate dialysis-induced myocardial stunning.
Ethics approval(s)Trent Research Ethics Committee, 04/09/2008, ref: 08/H0405/42
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDialysis-induced myocardial stunning
InterventionEach patient undergoes one week (three dialysis treatments) of standard haemodialysis, and one week (three dialysis treatments) of standard haemodialysis with supplemental oxygen to breathe; the chronological order of the two weeks is allocated by randomisation. Patients thereby act as their own controls. Monitored visits occur on the third treatment of each week. There is no further follow-up.
Intervention typeDrug
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Dialysate magnesium
Primary outcome measure(s)

Development of regional wall motion abnormalities.
Key observations are taken pre-dialysis (baseline), 15 minutes prior to end of dialysis (peak stress) by cardiac echocardiography (for later offline semi-automated analysis for regional wall motion abnormalities).

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

Haemodynamic variables observed pre-dialysis, and throughout dialysis treatment, with continuous non-invasive measurement by finometer, and NICOM (bioreactance).
