How room temperature affects vein ultrasound measurements
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the temperature of the room where an ultrasound is done changes the size of your veins. It may help doctors get more accurate ultrasound results.

This study tests whether measuring the size of a vein in your groin using ultrasound can help doctors decide if you need more fluids when you're critically ill in the ICU. The goal is to improve how doctors manage fluid treatment for patients on breathing machines.
This study uses ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the veins of patients in the intensive care unit. The results may help doctors better manage fluids and improve care for critically ill patients.
This study compares two ways to treat varicose veins: doing a heat-based treatment (radiofrequency ablation) on the main thigh vein at the same time as treating the smaller branch veins, or treating the branch veins later. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer for people with mild to moderate varicose veins.
This study uses ultrasound to measure changes in a large vein near the heart before cardiac surgery. It may help doctors better understand how the heart is working before the procedure.
This study uses a special camera to take pictures of your leg veins at different times to find the best moment for imaging. It may help improve how varicose veins are diagnosed.
This study checks if a leg ultrasound can help doctors estimate the pressure in your heart's main pumping chamber before a heart procedure. If it works, it could give useful information without extra tests.
