Ultrasound for swimming lung fluid in open water athletes
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the lungs (swimming-induced pulmonary edema) in athletes who swim in open water races. It helps doctors understand how common this condition is and how to spot it quickly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are competing in an open water swimming event.
- You swam at least part of the race.
- You are not in need of emergency medical care during the race.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are 18 years or older.

This study looks at what happens in the lungs after open-water swimming. It may help doctors better understand and recognize “swimming-induced lung fluid,” especially by using lung ultrasound when symptoms happen.
This study checks whether certain personal factors can predict who may get “immersion pulmonary edema,” a condition where fluid builds up in the lungs after water exposure and diving. If you’re a diver, your results may help tailor safety steps and reduce risk.
This study tests if a quick ultrasound can help doctors figure out why you are having trouble breathing when you come to the emergency room. It may lead to faster and more accurate care.
This study checks whether paramedics can quickly use ultrasound (sound-wave imaging) in ambulances to help diagnose why patients are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see if this tool helps paramedics make better decisions before reaching the hospital.
This study tests whether ultrasound can help doctors figure out why fluid has built up around your lungs. You'll have an ultrasound scan and then a standard fluid-removal procedure (thoracentesis) that your doctor has already planned for you.
This trial tests a specific device to treat a lung condition called swimming-induced pulmonary edema, where fluid collects in the lungs after swimming. It may help people who need quick, acute treatment to get breathing better.
