Scientific titleMyocardial stunning during paediatric dialysis and the effects of cooling the dialystate during haemodialysis: a randomised interventional treatment trial
Study objectivesOriginal hypotheses:
In comparison to standard 37ºC dialysate, dialysate temperature 0.5ºC below core body temperature reduces:
1. HD-induced regional LV dysfunction (myocardial stunning)
2. The incidence of IDH and therefore improves the potential for fluid removal during HD (UF)
3. The side effects of IDH and therefore improves the dialysis experience for the child
4. Circulating surrogate markers of myocardial injury

Aim of this pilot:
Primary aim was to determine whether using dialysate 0.5°C cooler than body temperature is associated with a decrease in acute left ventricular (LV) dysfunction as measured by 2D speckle tracking within limits of patient tolerability of feeling cold.
Ethics approval(s)National Research Ethics Service, Central London REC 2, 31/07/2007, ref: 07/Q0508/64
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: Renal and Urogenital; Subtopic: Renal and Urogenital (all Subtopics); Disease: Renal
InterventionThe patient will be randomised to cooled dialysate or dialysate temperature of 37ºC.

Follow-up length: 24 months
Study entry: single randomisation only
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureRegional LV dysfunction; patients will undergo echocardiogram assessments at 0, 15 and 240 minutes post-dialysis
Secondary outcome measuresTo determine the differences between cooled and standard dialysate in the:
1. Incidence of hypotensive episodes (IDH) defined as a blood pressure (BP) below the 5th percentile adjusted for age and sex
2. Incidence of self-reported intradialytic and postdialytic symptoms
3. Quality of the dialysis procedure based on a specific questionnaire designed to assess their treatment experience and symptoms related to feeling cold during dialysis
4. UF achieved, calculated as the ratio of actual UF volume and desired UF volume
