Fluid Versus Weight Balance in the ICU
This trial measures how closely daily weight changes match fluid intake and output in ICU patients. It helps doctors understand fluid balance without complicated procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You are not pregnant.
- Your daily weight can be measured using the ICU bed scale.
- You have a urinary catheter (tube that drains urine).
- You do not have an open abdomen or open chest, and you are not on certain life support machines (ECMO).

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 fluid levels affect kidney injury in ICU patients. It may help doctors find the best way to manage fluids for people whose kidneys get injured during their ICU stay.
This study tests a new way to manage fluids in children on breathing machines in the ICU. It aims to improve recovery and reduce complications.
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 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 trial looks at how well your body responds to extra fluids given through an IV, and whether it helps your veins. It is for people in the ICU who already have heart monitoring in place.
