Comparing fluid tolerance tests in shock patients
This trial studies different ways to measure how much extra fluid your body can handle when you are in shock. The goal is to see which method works best and helps doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) because of shock (very low blood pressure that affects your body's organs).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You or a family member agree to participate and sign a consent form.
- You do not have severe lung problems like a blood clot or high pressure in your lung arteries.
- You do not have certain heart conditions (right-sided heart attack or severe valve disease) or neck injuries that block ultrasound assessment.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 study tests a method called tissue perfusion pressure to see if it can accurately predict whether a patient in shock will benefit from getting more fluids. It aims to help doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment in the ICU.
This study uses ultrasound to measure blood flow in the aorta (the main artery from the heart) to help doctors decide if patients in the intensive care unit need more fluids. It is for people whose shock is not getting better after the first 6 hours of treatment.
This trial compares using ultrasound of the large belly vein (IVC) versus a standard pressure measurement to see if you need more fluids when in shock. It aims to find a quicker, safer way to guide treatment in the emergency room.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much fluid shocked trauma patients need. It could help doctors give the right amount of fluids in the emergency room and ICU.
This study watches how the right side of your heart responds when doctors give you extra fluids to improve blood flow during a critical illness. Understanding this response may help doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment in the ICU.
