Fluid treatment effects on vein congestion in heart unit
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how giving fluids through an IV (intravenous) affects blood flow and swelling in the veins of people who are in the heart intensive care unit. The goal is to see if different fluid amounts can help reduce problems with vein congestion, which can make heart conditions worse.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be currently admitted to a cardiac intensive care unit (a special unit in the hospital for people with serious heart problems).
- You should be willing to participate in a study that tests how different fluid treatments affect blood flow in your veins.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how well your body responds to extra fluids given through an IV, and whether it helps your veins. It is for people in the ICU who already have heart monitoring in place.
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 looks at how tiny blood vessels respond to extra fluids in ICU patients who have vein congestion. It helps doctors understand if giving more fluid is helpful or harmful for you.
This trial looks at how fluid buildup in veins might relate to kidney injury after planned heart surgery. It aims to find ways to prevent kidney damage. Participants must be having planned (non-emergency) heart surgery, be 18 or older, and have healthy kidneys and overall health.
This trial looks at how blood backing up in veins after heart surgery might relate to delirium (sudden confusion). It uses a special ultrasound to check vein blood flow and then watches for confusion afterward.
This study uses ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the veins of patients in the intensive care unit. The results may help doctors better manage fluids and improve care for critically ill patients.
