Ultrasound vein checks during trauma fluid treatment
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at how well the veins in your neck, leg, and belly respond to fluids given to raise your blood pressure after a severe injury. The goal is to help doctors give the right amount of fluids to improve blood flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Not have heart conditions like heart failure or fluid around the heart

This study tests if using ultrasound to look at a neck vein can help doctors decide how much fluid to give trauma patients who are in shock. The goal is to give the right amount of fluid to help recovery without overloading the heart.
This trial compares two ways to check if a person in shock needs more fluids: one using an ultrasound of the large vein in the belly, and the other using a standard pressure measurement from a tube in the neck or chest. The goal is to find the safer, quicker method to give the right amount of fluid.
This study tests whether measuring the size of a vein in your groin using ultrasound can help doctors decide if you need more fluids when you're critically ill in the ICU. The goal is to improve how doctors manage fluid treatment for patients on breathing machines.
This study checks whether a specific heart ultrasound measurement can help doctors decide if you will benefit from extra fluid during early emergency treatment for shock. It may help avoid unnecessary fluids and support faster, safer decision-making.
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound of the veins can help doctors give the right amount of fluids to people with septic shock. It aims to improve recovery by personalizing treatment.
This study uses an ultrasound of the large vein in your belly (the vena cava) and a blood test for lactate to check how much fluid you need after a severe injury. It helps doctors quickly see if you are dehydrated so they can treat you better.
