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)

This study compares two methods of giving fluids to patients after major surgery: one uses a special device to measure body composition and guide fluid amounts, while the other uses standard care. It aims to see if the device-guided approach improves recovery in the intensive care unit.
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 tests a method called bioimpedance to monitor blood flow in the transplanted belly tissue during breast reconstruction surgery. It may help doctors know when the blood supply is stable, which could lead to safer recovery.
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 study looks at fluid levels and body composition after heart surgery using a safe, painless device called bioelectrical impedance. It aims to help doctors better manage fluids during recovery.
