Abstract

Purpose of review: This manuscript details the development and execution of a quality improvement (QI) initiative aimed at standardizing blood pressure (BP) measurement practices in pediatric hemodialysis (HD) units across a national dialysis collaborative.

Recent findings: Although there are recommendations for the detection and treatment of hypertension in the pediatric population, currently there is no data or recommendations specific to the methodology of measuring blood pressure in a pediatric hemodialysis setting. In 2016, the Standardizing Care to Improve Outcomes in Pediatric End Stage Kidney Disease (SCOPE) Collaborative assembled a dedicated working group to thoroughly examine BP measurement practices across participating pediatric HD centers and, drawing from current research, to establish a standardized best practice for BP measurement in pediatric HD patients both in-center and at home. Employing QI methodology, the working group devised a standardized "BP Bundle" and implemented it throughout the SCOPE Collaborative. This work led to successful practice improvement by establishing a consistent approach to BP measurement in pediatric HD patients cared for in SCOPE centers. With a standard best practice now in place and over 85% compliance with the BP Bundle across the SCOPE Collaborative, researchers and healthcare professionals can more accurately study and ultimately enhance the cardiovascular health of pediatric HD patients.

儿童血液透析中血压测量的标准化：合作之旅。

综述目的：本文详细介绍了一项质量改进（QI）倡议的制定和执行情况，该倡议旨在通过全国透析合作组织标准化儿科血液透析（HD）单位的血压（BP）测量实践。最近的发现：尽管有关于在儿科人群中检测和治疗高血压的建议，但目前还没有关于在儿科血液透析环境中测量血压的具体方法的数据或建议。2016年，标准化护理以改善儿科终末期肾病（SCOPE）协作组织成立了一个专门的工作组，以彻底检查参与的儿科HD中心的血压测量实践，并根据当前的研究，为中心和家庭的儿科HD患者建立血压测量的标准化最佳实践。采用QI方法，工作组设计了一个标准化的“BP捆绑包”，并在整个SCOPE Collaborative中实施。这项工作通过在SCOPE中心护理的儿科HD患者中建立一致的血压测量方法，成功地改进了实践。随着标准最佳实践的实施，以及SCOPE Collaborative超过85%的BP Bundle合规性，研究人员和医疗保健专业人员可以更准确地研究并最终增强儿科HD患者的心血管健康。

期刊介绍： This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of hypertension. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as antihypertensive therapies, associated metabolic disorders, and therapeutic trials. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
