Ultrasound for vein congestion in ICU patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in veins of patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to see if this technique can help doctors manage treatment better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies how giving fluids affects blood buildup in the veins of critically ill heart patients in the ICU. It may help doctors decide how much fluid to give.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound imaging of your veins and measuring salt in your urine can help doctors give you the right amount of IV diuretics (water pills) when you're hospitalized for heart failure. The goal is to improve your symptoms and recovery.
This study looks at how tiny blood vessels respond to extra fluids in ICU patients who have vein congestion. It helps doctors understand if giving more fluid is helpful or harmful for you.
This trial uses ultrasound to see if a small change in breathing can predict how your body will respond to fluids. It could help doctors decide if you need more fluids or not.
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 trial tests whether specially trained ICU nurses can use ultrasound (VExUS) to check for blood flow backup in the veins of patients with sepsis. It aims to improve early detection of fluid overload in the ICU.
