Predicting fluid overload during prostate surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check for fluid overload in men having prostate surgery with spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see which ultrasound method works best to prevent complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male
- You are classified as ASA II or III (meaning you have mild to serious health issues, but not severe)
- You are scheduled for a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) surgery with spinal anesthesia
- You do not have major lung, heart, kidney, or liver problems
- You are not severely obese or have significant fluid buildup in your belly that would block the ultrasound view
- You have no reason that spinal anesthesia is unsafe for you, like nerve disease or low blood pressure

This trial compares two approaches to giving IV fluids during robotic prostate removal surgery. Researchers will use a heart-monitoring device to guide one approach and want to see which method works better for patient recovery.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much the veins in your leg and belly collapse when you breathe, to see if this can predict a drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for prostate surgery. If you are eligible, you may help doctors better manage your blood pressure during surgery.
This Phase 3 study tests whether using a lung ultrasound scan during surgery can better guide blood pressure and fluid needs. It may help stabilize patients during long operations and reduce complications related to poor circulation or fluid balance.
This study uses lung ultrasound to help doctors give the right amount of fluids during abdominal surgery, which may improve recovery and reduce complications.
This study tests if using a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) to guide fluid management during lung surgery can help reduce complications like lung problems or kidney injury. It may help doctors give you just the right amount of fluids.
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.
