Ultrasound-guided diuretics for heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a bedside ultrasound to guide diuretic treatment improves outcomes in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure. It may help find the right dose of IV diuretics faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with acute decompensated heart failure (a sudden worsening of heart failure symptoms)
- Your doctor plans to treat you with IV diuretics (water pills given through a vein)
- An initial bedside ultrasound of a neck vein shows a specific abnormal pattern

This study tests whether using a small ultrasound device at the patient's bedside (point-of-care ultrasound) can help doctors better manage fluid buildup in people with chronic heart failure. The goal is to see if this extra imaging helps guide treatment and improve outcomes.
This study uses lung ultrasound to help doctors decide how to give water pills to people with heart failure who have extra fluid in their body. It may help reduce symptoms and improve recovery from a heart failure episode.
This trial tests whether using belly pressure and bedside ultrasound can help doctors better manage fluid removal (decongestion) in people hospitalized with heart failure. The goal is to see if this approach 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 study uses ultrasound to guide treatment that removes excess fluid from the body. It may help doctors tailor your heart failure care and improve how you feel.
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.
