Ultrasound-guided fluid removal in hospitalized heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether using ultrasound-guided treatment to reduce fluid buildup in the body can help people hospitalized for worsening heart failure feel better faster. It's for adults admitted with heart failure and high BNP levels.

This study tests a new way to guide fluid removal (decongestive therapy) in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to help doctors safely reduce fluid buildup, no matter what type of heart failure you have.
This trial tests if using a special ultrasound score (VeXUS) to guide fluid removal can improve recovery in patients with acute kidney injury after heart surgery. It compares this approach to standard care to see if it leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests a device designed to safely remove extra fluid from patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It may help those who are not responding well to standard water pills (diuretics).
This trial studies a device (the Nephronyx System) used in the hospital to treat worsening heart failure with fluid buildup, especially when diuretics (water pills) aren’t working well. It aims to check the device’s safety and whether it performs as expected to help patients get better.
This trial tests a new way to manage fluid levels in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to help doctors adjust treatment to keep you from coming back to the hospital.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound imaging of your veins and measuring salt in your urine can help doctors give you the right amount of IV diuretics (water pills) when you're hospitalized for heart failure. The goal is to improve your symptoms and recovery.
