Monitoring urine output in cardiac ICU patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that tracks urine output after heart surgery to see how the body responds to fluids and diuretics. It may help doctors manage your recovery more closely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study uses ultrasound to check how well your body handles fluids after heart surgery. It helps doctors decide if you need more or less fluids to keep you stable in the intensive care unit.
This study tests a new way to manage fluids in patients with acute kidney injury who are receiving a type of dialysis called continuous renal replacement therapy. The method uses ultrasound to check blood flow in the veins and kidneys to guide fluid decisions, which may help recovery.
This study tests an automated system that tracks how much urine ICU patients produce, which helps doctors monitor their health. It may lead to better care and faster detection of problems for patients like you.
This trial tests a method to better manage fluid levels in critically ill patients who are receiving a type of dialysis (CVVH) for kidney failure. It uses a device (bioelectrical impedance) to measure fluid in the body, which may help doctors give the right amount of fluids more safely.
This study looks at how urine output after being in the intensive care unit (ICU) can help detect early kidney problems. It may help doctors better monitor and protect kidney function in critically ill patients.
