Fluid balance monitoring for intensive care patients
This trial compares two ways of monitoring fluid levels in intensive care patients to see which is more accurate. It may help doctors better manage fluids for people in critical care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if lowering the amount of salt water (sodium chloride) given as maintenance fluids or 'fluid creep' can help critically ill adults in the ICU recover better. It compares two ways of managing daily fluids to see which is safer and more effective.
This study looks at how giving fluids to critically ill patients with new kidney injury affects their recovery. It may help doctors decide the right amount of fluid for people with certain health conditions.
This trial tests a method to better manage fluid levels in critically ill patients who are receiving a type of dialysis (CVVH) for kidney failure. It uses a device (bioelectrical impedance) to measure fluid in the body, which may help doctors give the right amount of fluids more safely.
This study uses a non-painful skin measurement to better understand fluid balance during pregnancy and around cesarean delivery or longer hospital stays for induction. Your results may help doctors understand risks related to fluid changes, especially when certain pregnancy complications occur.
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 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.
