Checking fluid needs with a light-based muscle test
This study uses a non-invasive light-based device on your arm muscle to see if you need more fluids. It aims to replace invasive monitoring for patients with arterial lines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a standard arterial line for blood pressure monitoring.

This trial tests if a simple, non-invasive measure—carbon dioxide in your breath while your legs are gently raised—can help doctors decide if you need more fluids. It aims to reduce unnecessary fluid use in patients on a breathing machine in the ICU.
This study uses ultrasound and electrical impedance (skin electrodes) to track fluid balance in the muscles and tissues of ICU patients. It aims to see if these tools can help doctors better manage fluids during your stay.
This study tests a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff to briefly stop blood flow to one arm) to see how it affects heart and blood flow in critically ill patients in the ICU. If you are in the ICU, over 18, and have a special heart monitor, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a simple bedside ultrasound measurement (called PPV and LVOT VTI) can help doctors decide if you need more fluids. You will be in the ICU and on a breathing machine. The test involves lifting your legs up while measuring your heart's response.
This trial tests whether a simple ultrasound measurement of blood flow in your heart, guided by artificial intelligence, can be reliably done by minimally trained staff. It aims to help doctors decide when to give fluids to ICU patients who need them.
This study tests a simple, non-invasive device that measures how well a child's heart responds when doctors give extra fluids during intensive care. It helps doctors decide if more fluids will actually help the child feel better.
