Ultrasound test to guide fluid treatment in shock
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a simple ultrasound technique can help doctors decide if you need more fluids when you have shock. The goal is to improve fluid management in intensive care patients.

This study checks whether a specific heart ultrasound measurement can help doctors decide if you will benefit from extra fluid during early emergency treatment for shock. It may help avoid unnecessary fluids and support faster, safer decision-making.
This trial compares two ways to check if a person in shock needs more fluids: one using an ultrasound of the large vein in the belly, and the other using a standard pressure measurement from a tube in the neck or chest. The goal is to find the safer, quicker method to give the right amount of fluid.
This trial studies different ways to measure how much extra fluid your body can handle when you are in shock. The goal is to see which method works best and helps doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment.
This study tests if using ultrasound to look at a neck vein can help doctors decide how much fluid to give trauma patients who are in shock. The goal is to give the right amount of fluid to help recovery without overloading the heart.
This study tests whether measuring the pressure in your tissues can help doctors decide if you need more fluids while in the intensive care unit (ICU) for shock. It aims to improve how fluids are given to patients with shock.
This trial tests whether applying ultrasound to the neck can help improve blood pressure in people with shock. It is a proof-of-concept study, meaning it aims to see if the treatment is safe and shows promise.
