Lung ultrasound to check fluid overload in severe preeclampsia
Part of Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if women with severe preeclampsia have too much fluid in their lungs, which could help guide treatment. It may help decide who needs closer monitoring or faster delivery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with severe preeclampsia (a serious form of high blood pressure during pregnancy).
- You are between 24 weeks and 41 weeks pregnant.
- You do not have chronic lung disease like asthma or COPD.
- You do not have known heart disease.
- You have not been diagnosed with fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema) at the time you enter the study.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or less.

This study tests whether using a bedside ultrasound (POCUS) after childbirth can help doctors better manage women with preeclampsia. It looks at how well the heart and lungs are working to decide if a medicine called furosemide (a water pill) might help reduce blood pressure and prevent complications.
This trial is testing a way to give fluids before C-section to women with severe preeclampsia. It uses an ultrasound measure of the big vein in your belly (the inferior vena cava) to help decide how much fluid is safe, which may reduce complications.
This study looks at using a quick ultrasound at the bedside to find possible causes or warning signs in people with preeclampsia who develop new seizures. It may help clinicians recognize problems sooner and guide safer treatment.
This study compares two ways of using ultrasound to look at the airway in women with severe preeclampsia who need a C-section under general anesthesia. It aims to find which technique is better, so doctors can prepare more safely for your breathing tube placement.
This study looks at people with preeclampsia during pregnancy and how their lung blood pressure and related symptoms change after delivery. It may help doctors better monitor and manage postpartum risks, especially involving the heart and lungs.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the airway in pregnant women (with and without preeclampsia) and non-pregnant women. It helps doctors predict how easy or difficult it might be to place a breathing tube during delivery.
