Lung ultrasound to guide fluid removal in ICU patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a quick scan of the lungs (lung ultrasound) helps ICU teams safely remove the right amount of extra body fluid. It aims to improve care for people who have just been put on a breathing machine but are expected to need it longer than a day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be admitted to one of the study’s ICU units
- You started a breathing machine less than 24 hours ago
- Doctors expect you will still need the breathing machine for more than 24 hours
- You must be 18 or older
- Pregnancy is not allowed (or suspected pregnancy must be ruled out)
- You must be able to get a lung ultrasound scan with clear results

This study tests when and how much fluid should be removed from patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who need help getting rid of extra fluid. It uses medicines called diuretics or a machine that filters the blood (ultrafiltration) to find the best approach.
This study tests whether using an ultrasound scan to guide a breathing machine settings can improve care for people with moderate or severe ARDS, a serious lung condition. If you qualify, the team will compare the ultrasound-guided approach to standard ventilator care in the ICU.
This trial uses ultrasound to measure fluid buildup in the body as a way to predict if a patient will succeed when their breathing tube is removed. It aims to help doctors decide the best time for removal.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound can help guide physical therapy for hospitalized patients with new breathing problems. It aims to make therapy safer and more effective by seeing how the lungs look in real time.
This trial tests whether using lung ultrasound to guide decongestion treatment improves outcomes for patients hospitalized with congestive heart failure. It may help doctors tailor your care more precisely.
This trial tests whether a simple lung ultrasound score can help predict outcomes in ICU patients with acute respiratory failure. It may help identify patients who need more intensive care or a different treatment plan.
