Test of heart ultrasound to guide fluids in shock
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether a specific heart ultrasound measurement can help doctors decide if you will benefit from extra fluid during early emergency treatment for shock. It may help avoid unnecessary fluids and support faster, safer decision-making.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must agree to take part in the study after being told about it
- You are an adult (18 years or older) and covered by health insurance
- You are in shock with a low blood pressure (average less than 65 mmHg)
- Your early treatment plan includes giving 500 mL of IV fluids (saline or Ringer lactate)
- You have not already received 2 or more fluid boluses since treatment started
- You are not being treated for shock caused by heart or blockage (cardiogenic or obstructive)
- You are not already on breathing machines (intubated or non-invasive ventilation) before the fluids

This study is testing whether a simple ultrasound technique can help doctors decide if you need more fluids when you have shock. The goal is to improve fluid management in intensive care patients.
This trial compares two ways to check if a person in shock needs more fluids: one using an ultrasound of the large vein in the belly, and the other using a standard pressure measurement from a tube in the neck or chest. The goal is to find the safer, quicker method to give the right amount of fluid.
This trial studies different ways to measure how much extra fluid your body can handle when you are in shock. The goal is to see which method works best and helps doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment.
This study tests whether measuring the pressure in your tissues can help doctors decide if you need more fluids while in the intensive care unit (ICU) for shock. It aims to improve how fluids are given to patients with shock.
This study tests if using ultrasound to look at a neck vein can help doctors decide how much fluid to give trauma patients who are in shock. The goal is to give the right amount of fluid to help recovery without overloading the heart.
This study watches how the right side of your heart responds when doctors give you extra fluids to improve blood flow during a critical illness. Understanding this response may help doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment in the ICU.
