Study of fluid in the lungs after open-water swimming
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at what happens in the lungs after open-water swimming. It may help doctors better understand and recognize “swimming-induced lung fluid,” especially by using lung ultrasound when symptoms happen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You took part in the Vansbrosimningen open-water swimming event (as a swimmer in the study).
- If you’re in the patient group: you had breathing symptoms during or after swimming.
- If you’re in the patient group: a lung ultrasound showed signs of lung fluid (pulmonary edema).
- If you’re in the patient group: your oxygen level was 95% or lower during the episode.
- You cannot join if you cannot or do not consent, or if you were very unstable or had reduced awareness.

This trial tests a specific device to treat a lung condition called swimming-induced pulmonary edema, where fluid collects in the lungs after swimming. It may help people who need quick, acute treatment to get breathing better.
This trial tests whether regular oxygen or CPAP (a breathing-support machine) works better for people who have swimming-induced pulmonary edema, a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs after swimming. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective breathing treatment in an emergency.
This study looks at people on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours who are starting a “spontaneous breathing trial,” a test used to see if they can breathe on their own. It focuses on those at higher risk of “weaning-induced pulmonary edema,” meaning fluid can collect in the lungs during the weaning process.
This study tests whether using a portable ultrasound on the lungs during ambulance transport (by specially trained paramedics) can help identify the cause of breathing problems. It may help guide quicker and more accurate treatment for patients with shortness of breath.
This study uses ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the lungs (swimming-induced pulmonary edema) in athletes who swim in open water races. It helps doctors understand how common this condition is and how to spot it quickly.
This study looks at how a standard breathing test (called a spontaneous ventilation test, SBT) affects the heart and lungs in people who are at risk of developing fluid in the lungs (pulmonary oedema). It aims to find out if this test causes extra strain on the heart, which could help improve how patients are weaned off the breathing machine.
