Using ultrasound to guide fluids during lung surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
