Check fluid balance during pediatric surgery using a body sensor
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for elective (planned) surgery or a procedure under general anesthesia
- You will stay in the hospital (inpatient) or have day-care surgery
- You will be able to lie still during the sensor measurements
- You can get informed consent from you or your legal guardian
- Your care plan must use general anesthesia (not sedation only)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a method to better manage fluid levels in critically ill patients who are receiving a type of dialysis (CVVH) for kidney failure. It uses a device (bioelectrical impedance) to measure fluid in the body, which may help doctors give the right amount of fluids more safely.
This study uses a simple ultrasound on the upper chest to check if children under general anesthesia need extra fluids. It aims to find a better way to manage fluid balance during surgery.
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.
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 checks if a special monitor (called Pleth Variability Index) helps doctors manage fluids better during surgery for children with craniosynostosis. It may lead to safer recovery for your child.
