Hypotension occurs often during hemodialysis treatments as a result of vasodilation from the warmed dialysate.Modest decreases in blood pressure,as is the case with this client,can be maintained with rate adjustment,Trendelenburg positioning,and a fluid bolus.If the blood pressure drops considerably after two boluses and cooling dialysate,the hemodialysis can be stopped and the health care provider contacted.
