Using EEG to detect dialysis disequilibrium syndrome in first-time hemodialysis patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Bispectral Index (BIS) monitoring, derived from electroencephalography (EEG), in identifying dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) in patients undergoing their first hemodialysis session. Conducted at the Medical University of Graz, the study involves 20 patients who will be monitored for symptoms of DDS during a 3-hour dialysis session. Patients will be categorized into two groups based on the presence or absence of DDS symptoms, allowing for a comparative analysis of BIS readings. The study seeks to validate BIS as a reliable tool for detecting DDS in this patient population.
