Predicting fluid overload during prostate surgery
Part of 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 tests a new way to give spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected in your back) for prostate surgery. It uses ultrasound to measure the fluid space around your spinal cord to find the right dose, which may make the anesthesia safer and more effective.
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 trial tests whether using ultrasound to look at the lungs during surgery can help doctors give the right amount of fluids. It may help patients having open abdominal surgery stay more stable during the operation.
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.
