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 study tests whether a simple bedside test—raising your legs while lying down—can help doctors decide if you need more fluids. It uses an ultrasound to measure how well your heart pumps blood during this test.
This study tests whether a simple measure of the carbon dioxide you breathe out during a passive leg raise can help doctors predict if you will benefit from fluids. The goal is to guide fluid treatment more effectively and avoid unnecessary fluids.
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 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.
This trial compares different ways to check if a patient in the ICU with lowered consciousness needs more IV fluids. It aims to find the most accurate method, which could help doctors give the right amount of fluid.
