Testing fluid balance in pregnancy and around cesarean or labor
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a non-painful skin measurement to better understand fluid balance during pregnancy and around cesarean delivery or longer hospital stays for induction. Your results may help doctors understand risks related to fluid changes, especially when certain pregnancy complications occur.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and 16 years or older at the time you’re enrolled
- You must have a pregnancy that is expected to continue (viable pregnancy)
- You are planning an elective cesarean, or you’re being induced and expect to stay in the hospital over 24 hours
- Or you have a specific pregnancy or postpartum complication tied to fluid changes, like pre-eclampsia, severe vomiting (hyperemesis), or major postpartum bleeding
- You can give consent, and you can speak and read English well enough for the study
- You do not have a pacemaker or defibrillator

This study looks at how hydration affects women at different stages of life (before, during, and after menopause). You'll be asked to exercise, drink certain amounts of water, and sometimes limit fluids so researchers can see how your body responds.
This study tests a new way to manage fluid buildup in patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It uses a simple, non-invasive tool (‘bioimpedance’) to help doctors better balance your fluids, which could help you feel better and recover faster.
This trial compares two ways of monitoring fluid levels in intensive care patients to see which is more accurate. It may help doctors better manage fluids for people in critical care.
This study tests whether a noninvasive body monitor (bio impedance) can track fluid balance in children during planned surgery under general anesthesia. If it works well, it may help doctors manage fluids more safely during surgery.
This study compares two ways of giving IV fluids to patients after major surgery in the intensive care unit. One method uses a special device that measures body water, while the other uses standard care. The goal is to find which approach helps patients recover better.
This study uses a special device to measure fluid levels in the body during dialysis. It may help doctors better understand and manage fluid balance for people on hemodialysis.
