Predicting fluid needs with ultrasound during ventilation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses ultrasound to see if a small change in breathing can predict how your body will respond to fluids. It could help doctors decide if you need more fluids or not.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are on a ventilator with a set breathing pattern.
- Your doctor needs to check if you would benefit from extra fluids.
- You have a clear ultrasound view of the liver's portal vein.

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.
This trial uses ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in veins of patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to see if this technique can help doctors manage treatment better.
This study looks at a specific breathing maneuver done while your child is on a ventilator during surgery, and uses ultrasound-related measurements to predict whether they’ll need extra fluids. If it works, it may help doctors give the right amount of fluid and avoid problems from too little or too much.
This trial uses an ultrasound of your liver to see if there is extra fluid or pressure in your veins that might make it harder to breathe. It may help doctors understand how to better manage the breathing machine for people who have been on it for more than a day.
This study tests whether a simple bedside ultrasound measurement (called PPV and LVOT VTI) can help doctors decide if you need more fluids. You will be in the ICU and on a breathing machine. The test involves lifting your legs up while measuring your heart's response.
This study tests whether a neck ultrasound (carotid Doppler) or a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) is better at determining how much fluid a septic patient on a ventilator needs. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with sepsis on a breathing machine, this trial helps doctors choose the best way to give fluids that can improve blood pressure and organ function.
