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 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 tests whether using a portable ultrasound on the lungs during ambulance transport (by specially trained paramedics) can help identify the cause of breathing problems. It may help guide quicker and more accurate treatment for patients with shortness of breath.
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.
This trial tests whether regular oxygen or CPAP (a breathing-support machine) works better for people who have swimming-induced pulmonary edema, a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs after swimming. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective breathing treatment in an emergency.
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if women with severe preeclampsia have too much fluid in their lungs, which could help guide treatment. It may help decide who needs closer monitoring or faster delivery.
