Ultrasound test of brain blood flow in ICU injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a contrast-enhanced ultrasound can measure blood flow in the brain of people admitted to the ICU for a sudden brain injury. It may help doctors better assess brain damage and guide care using a bedside imaging method.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You’re 18 years or older
- You are currently admitted to the ICU for a sudden (acute) brain injury
- Your brain injury has been confirmed by CT scan and/or MRI
- Your care team needs you to have a contrast ultrasound imaging test
- A patient or a family member can provide consent
- You are not pregnant

This trial tests a new 3D ultrasound technique to see if it can better visualize blood flow in the brain after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding around the brain). It may help doctors monitor and treat patients more effectively.
This trial tests a new 3D ultrasound technique to get clearer images of blood flow in the brain after a stroke, which could help doctors better understand and treat the damage.
This trial tests if a heart imaging scan (myocardial perfusion) can help doctors better diagnose heart attacks or other conditions in people who come to the hospital with chest pain but without ST elevation on their ECG. It aims to see if the scan adds valuable information before heart catheterization.
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain changes when blood pressure rises or falls in people in the ICU. It may help doctors understand safer ways to manage blood pressure in critically ill patients.
This study compares a new ultrasound-based method to a standard CT scan for measuring blood flow in the brain. It is designed for people in the ICU or CCU who are already scheduled for a CT scan and could benefit from a simpler, more portable imaging option.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with a contrast dye can help doctors better assess acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) in patients in the intensive care unit. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with acute kidney injury within 24 hours of ICU admission, this imaging test may help guide care.
