SANTOS, Priscila Paula dos et al. Acute effect of physiotherapy during hemodialysis in injured patients at the canoas university hospital: a cross-randomized clinical test. Aletheia [online]. 2020, vol.53, n.1, pp. 56-67. ISSN 1413-0394.

Introduction: Hemodialysis (HD) is the treatment for acute renal failure (ARF). Objective: To verify the effect of physical therapy (PT) during HD on blood flow (BF), vital signs, and the safety of that. Methods: Crossover randomized clinical trial with patients in HD admitted to the University Hospital of Canoas between 2017 and 2018. They were randomized into: Group I - PT during HD; and Group II - PT before HD. In the second HD they were crossed. Results: 26 individuals were studied. There were complications in the evaluated moments, except during PT, with significant difference between groups (p=0,025). Group I kept the FS stable on the HD machine (p=0,649). There was an increase in heart rate (HR) (p=0,004) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) (p<0,001). In group II there was a significant increase in HR (p=0,009). Conclusion: The results suggest safety and feasibility in performing PT during HD in hospitalized patients.
