Comparing two IV fluids for patients with recent bleeding stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special IV fluid with multiple electrolytes is better than normal saline (salt water) at preventing too much chloride in the blood for people who just had a bleeding stroke. If you need IV fluids after a recent brain bleed, this could help keep your blood chemistry balanced and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had a bleeding stroke (inside the brain, around the brain, or in the ventricles) confirmed by a CT scan or MRI.
- You must need IV fluids (fluids given through a vein) as part of your care.
- The bleeding must have started within the last 72 hours (3 days) before you join the study.
- You must not already have too much chloride in your blood (a condition called hyperchloremia) before the study starts.
- You must not be able to eat and drink normally on your own, because the study is about IV fluids.

This study tests a drug called Cerebrolysin, which may help protect the brain after a bleeding stroke. It is given within 6 hours of the stroke, and researchers will check if it is safe and helps improve recovery.
This study tests whether Cerebrolysin can improve recovery in people who remain in a vegetative or minimally conscious state more than 4 weeks after a bleeding stroke. It also tracks safety, to make sure the treatment is not causing harmful side effects.
This study tests whether giving extra normal (saltwater) fluid after standard clot-busting treatment improves recovery after a stroke. It could help reduce damage and improve outcomes for people who have had a moderate to severe stroke.
This trial studies whether giving a specific type of IV fluid (a salt-water fluid in the vein) after a type of brain bleed can improve neurological recovery. It focuses on adults with a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (a bleeding in the space around the brain) given soon after diagnosis.
This trial tests if lowering the amount of salt water (sodium chloride) given as maintenance fluids or 'fluid creep' can help critically ill adults in the ICU recover better. It compares two ways of managing daily fluids to see which is safer and more effective.
This study compares two methods to clear blood from the fluid chambers in your brain after a bleed. Researchers want to see if a clot-dissolving medication (TPA) works better than standard salt solution when delivered through a drainage tube.
