Fluid response in patients lying on stomach
This study looks at how well your body responds to extra fluids when you are lying on your stomach (prone position). It helps doctors decide if giving you more fluids will be helpful or harmful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled to be placed on your stomach (prone position) for your treatment.
- You cannot have an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You cannot have a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) that already exists.
- You cannot have extra fluid in your body (fluid overload) that was already present.
- You must be able to have a small tube placed in your artery or vein to check your fluids.

This trial tests a simple bedside test (raising your legs and giving a small amount of fluid) to see how well your heart responds. It is for patients in the ICU with vasodilatory shock and severe lung injury who are on a ventilator.
This study tests whether a standard lung-opening procedure during anesthesia can help doctors predict if a patient needs more fluids. It may help keep blood pressure stable during surgery.
This study watches how your body responds to fluids while on VA ECMO (a heart-lung machine). The goal is to improve care for people needing this support.
This trial tests a quick breathing maneuver during surgery to see if it can guide how much fluid to give, aiming to improve recovery and stability.
This study tests a way to predict whether you will benefit from a fluid bolus (a small amount of IV fluid) while you are lying face down for ARDS. It uses continuous heart monitoring to guide or evaluate fluid decisions and may help clinicians avoid too much or too little fluid.
This study tests a simple, non-invasive device that measures how well a child's heart responds when doctors give extra fluids during intensive care. It helps doctors decide if more fluids will actually help the child feel better.
