Lung ultrasound to guide fluid in bruised lung
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses lung ultrasound to guide how much fluid is given to patients with a bruised lung from chest trauma. The goal is to find the best fluid balance to help you heal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a bruised lung from a blow to the chest (lung contusion).
- This may be the only injury, or you may have other injuries as well.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have other lung conditions like scarring (pulmonary fibrosis), constant fluid buildup (persistent pleural effusion), or missing one lung (pneumonectomy).

This study uses lung ultrasound to help doctors give the right amount of fluids during abdominal surgery, which may improve recovery and reduce complications.
This trial tests whether using a quick scan of the lungs (lung ultrasound) helps ICU teams safely remove the right amount of extra body fluid. It aims to improve care for people who have just been put on a breathing machine but are expected to need it longer than a day.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound can help guide physical therapy for hospitalized patients with new breathing problems. It aims to make therapy safer and more effective by seeing how the lungs look in real time.
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 study uses lung ultrasound in the ICU to quickly check if a chest injury leads to ARDS (a serious lung condition).
This trial tests whether using lung ultrasound to guide decongestion treatment improves outcomes for patients hospitalized with congestive heart failure. It may help doctors tailor your care more precisely.
