Ultrasound and fluid monitoring in the ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks how reliably different physical therapists can measure muscles and nerves using ultrasound in patients who are awake and stable in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to improve muscle assessment techniques for critically ill adults.
This study aims to find better ways to detect and track muscle weakness that can happen during an ICU stay. If you or your loved one is in the ICU, this research could help improve early diagnosis and care.
This study looks at how frailty relates to muscle thickness in the thigh for patients over 65 who stay in the intensive care unit for at least a week. It aims to find ways to better support recovery.
This study uses ultrasound to measure body composition in women admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology critical care unit. It aims to see if ultrasound can help assess health status in critically ill patients.
This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
This trial tests a wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate leg muscles, helping prevent muscle weakness in ICU patients with severe infections. It may help you recover strength faster and avoid long-term disability.
