Testing a new fluid monitoring platform after surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new platform that looks at fluid from drains after abdominal or pelvic surgery to see if it can help detect complications early. It may help doctors monitor your recovery more closely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have had open or laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery on your abdomen or pelvis and have a drain in place
- You are willing to follow the study rules and sign a consent form
- You are not expected to go home less than 8 hours after surgery
- You do not have a known serious infection like hepatitis B, C, HIV, tuberculosis, or a multi-drug resistant infection, or a parasitic gut infection

This trial tests a new device called Stream™ that helps monitor the fluid from your surgical drain after colorectal surgery. The goal is to catch dangerous leaks early, so treatment can happen sooner.
This study tests whether looking for certain DNA changes in the fluid from your belly can help doctors find stomach cancer that has spread. The goal is to make standard tests more accurate so treatment can be better planned.
This trial studies a new device designed to clear blockages in Jackson-Pratt drains placed in the abdomen after surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces complications and improves drain function.
This study looks at whether tracking early recovery signs after major gastrointestinal surgery can help identify patients at higher risk for complications.
This study compares two ways of giving fluids to people after major abdominal surgery in the ICU. It will see if using a measure of how much blood the heart pumps (cardiac index) is better than the usual method based on vein pressure.
This trial tests a “fluid challenge” approach during surgery to better control your body’s fluid level. It may help guide how much fluid is safely given during longer laparoscopic abdominal operations.
