Fluid status check with ultrasound in hospitalized patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure fluid levels in hospitalized patients. It helps doctors understand how well your body is managing fluids, which can guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your doctor has ordered an ultrasound to check your body's fluid levels.
- You will be in the hospital for at least 24 hours after the first ultrasound.
- You are not using medications to raise blood pressure (vasopressors) at the time of the ultrasound.
- You are not using a breathing machine or ventilator, including CPAP, BiPAP, or high-flow oxygen.

This study uses ultrasound and electrical impedance (skin electrodes) to track fluid balance in the muscles and tissues of ICU patients. It aims to see if these tools can help doctors better manage fluids during your stay.
This study uses a special ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the veins (called venous congestion) and see if it is linked to kidney injury in ICU patients. It may help doctors understand how to prevent kidney problems during critical illness.
This trial uses ultrasound to check fluid levels in the body by looking at a large vein called the IVC. It may help doctors decide if you need more or less fluids.
This study uses ultrasound to see if patients in the intensive care unit need additional fluids. It aims to help doctors decide when to give fluids more accurately.
This study tests whether a simple bedside ultrasound measurement (called PPV and LVOT VTI) can help doctors decide if you need more fluids. You will be in the ICU and on a breathing machine. The test involves lifting your legs up while measuring your heart's response.
This study compares two ways to check if a patient with septic shock needs more IV fluids: one uses a standard central line (CVP), and the other uses an ultrasound of the big vein in the belly (IVC). Both aim to guide safe fluid treatment.
