Finding deep vein clots early in ICU patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study focuses on diagnosing deep-vein thrombosis (DVT, blood clots in the leg) early in people who are very ill in the ICU. It aims to test an approach to better detect clots sooner, which could help prevent complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and currently in an ICU for medical, surgical, or trauma care
- Your doctors expect you to stay in the ICU for more than 2 days
- You have not been diagnosed with a DVT or lung clot (PE) in the past year
- You are not on long-term blood thinners and you are not on full treatment doses of heparin-like medicines
- Ultrasound of your leg veins can be done safely (no major skin injuries or limitations at the scan area)
- You do not have an IVC filter, are not pregnant, and you are not being kept only on comfort/palliative care

This study looks at whether a certain ultrasound method can safely check for deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in the leg) when the clot seems less likely. It may help doctors decide faster and avoid unnecessary testing in some people.
This trial tests whether a machine learning algorithm can quickly detect deep vein thrombosis (blood clots) in people coming to the emergency room. It could help speed up diagnosis and treatment.
This study tests a treatment approach for acute blood clots in the deep veins of the upper leg and groin. It aims to see if using a device to clear the clot after standard treatment improves recovery.
This trial studies a procedure to remove an acute deep vein blood clot in the leg. It may help restore blood flow faster than standard treatment for certain clot locations.
This trial tests a new computer tool that helps doctors decide whether you likely have a blood clot in your leg or lung. If you have symptoms and are not already on blood thinners, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how doctors decide to test for pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) in the emergency department. It helps understand what factors lead to testing, which could improve care for future patients.
