Comparing fluid tolerance tests in shock patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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 is testing whether a simple ultrasound technique can help doctors decide if you need more fluids when you have shock. The goal is to improve fluid management in intensive care patients.
This study tests whether measuring the pressure in your tissues can help doctors decide if you need more fluids while in the intensive care unit (ICU) for shock. It aims to improve how fluids are given to patients with shock.
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 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.
This study looks at how a standard IV fluid bolus affects blood flow and heart function in ICU patients. It aims to better understand the body's response to this common treatment.
