Ultrasound check for vein congestion in intensive care
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the veins of patients in the intensive care unit. The results may help doctors better manage fluids and improve care for critically ill patients.

This study uses ultrasound to look at blood flow in veins near the liver and spleen shortly after surgery. It helps doctors understand how well these veins are working in patients who are in the intensive care unit, which may guide better care.
This study tests whether a simple ultrasound of the liver's portal vein can predict if a patient on a ventilator will tolerate extra fluids. It aims to help doctors avoid giving fluids that may not help or could harm.
This trial tests whether a small, portable ultrasound device works as well as a standard ultrasound machine to help nurses insert a peripheral IV line in patients whose veins are hard to find or access. It could lead to fewer needle sticks and less discomfort.
This study looks at how well a specific ultrasound method can measure your body's fluid levels. It may help doctors better assess your health, especially if you have conditions that affect your fluid balance.
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.
This study uses ultrasound to measure changes in a large vein near the heart before cardiac surgery. It may help doctors better understand how the heart is working before the procedure.
