New rapid electrolyte test accuracy trial
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new, quick bedside test to measure electrolytes (like sodium and potassium) in emergency patients. It aims to see if the new test is as accurate as standard lab tests, which could help doctors make faster decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the emergency department or emergency intensive care unit.
- Your doctor has ordered a test to check your electrolyte levels.
- You do not have a confirmed history of hepatitis B, syphilis, or HIV/AIDS.
- A leftover blood sample from your routine care is available and can be tested in time.
- The study doctor thinks you are suitable for the trial.

This trial is testing a portable EEG device (a non-invasive cap that measures brain activity) to help ambulance staff quickly determine if a patient is having a stroke. It aims to speed up diagnosis and care for people with suspected stroke symptoms.
This study tests a new portable device that measures potassium and ionized calcium levels from a finger-stick blood sample. It may help doctors get faster results for people who need regular monitoring.
This study looks at whether blood electrolyte levels (like sodium and potassium) early in a child's stay in the Pediatric ICU can help predict how well they will do. It aims to understand if these simple tests can give doctors useful information about the child's outlook.
This trial is testing a new algorithm that uses a simple, one-lead ECG (heart tracing) to measure how fast electrical signals travel through the heart. Researchers want to see if the algorithm works well in people whose heart intervals are slightly outside the normal range, which may help doctors better monitor heart conditions.
This study tests whether a quick blood test done by paramedics in the ambulance can safely rule out a heart attack in patients with chest pain or similar symptoms. The goal is to help patients get faster, more accurate care before reaching the hospital.
This study is testing a new, simpler ECG device (with only 4 sticky patches) against the standard 10-patch ECG. It's for people with heart conditions who are either in the hospital or visiting a cardiologist, and aims to see if the new device is easier to use and still gives a clear reading.
