Comparing IV fluids for severe brain bleed patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares a special IV fluid (Multiple Electrolytes Injection) with normal saline to see which one better prevents high chloride levels in people with severe brain bleeds. It aims to improve recovery and reduce side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain) within the last 72 hours.
- You need fluids given through a vein (IV fluids).
- Your blood chloride levels are not high (110 or lower).
- You do not have serious organ failure, heart disease, or other conditions that might interfere with the study.

This trial tests whether a drug called cerebrolysin can help people who have a bleeding stroke in the outer part of the brain (lobar hemorrhage). It looks at safety and how well it works.
This study tests if giving a simple saline (salt water) drip after the standard clot-busting medicine helps improve recovery in people who had a stroke from a clot. It may be a safe, low-cost way to support brain healing.
This trial looks at an “osmotic therapy” (a treatment meant to pull fluid away from swelling areas) for adults with severe bleeding around the brain caused by a burst aneurysm. It may help reduce dangerous swelling or complications, but your eligibility depends on your stability and lab results.
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 compares two types of intravenous fluids (saline vs. balanced crystalloids) given to people with traumatic brain injury when they arrive in the emergency room. The goal is to find out which fluid leads to better outcomes.
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.
