Liver vein vs. heart echo to check right heart function on a ventilator
This study compares a liver vein ultrasound method with a standard heart ultrasound for checking how well the right side of the heart is pumping in patients who are on a breathing machine (ventilator). If you are on a ventilator and can get a clear ultrasound of your heart and liver veins, you may be able to join.
Alexandria, Shebin El-KomAges 18 years+ - NCT07729891Recruiting
Vital sign monitoring after urological surgery
