Training Residents to Use Ultrasound for Fluid Assessment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study teaches medical residents how to use a bedside ultrasound technique called VExUS to check if patients have too much fluid in their body. You'll learn a specific skill that could help you assess patients faster and more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if using a special ultrasound score (VeXUS) to guide fluid removal can improve recovery in patients with acute kidney injury after heart surgery. It compares this approach to standard care to see if it leads to better outcomes.
This study looks at how doctors in intensive care units (ICUs) use ultrasound and manage sound volumes. It aims to improve training and patient care in Swiss hospitals.
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 tests whether using lung ultrasound at regular visits can help guide care for people with heart failure. It may help doctors spot worsening fluid problems earlier, before symptoms become severe.
This study evaluates how well doctors can assess “fluid congestion” in people with chronic heart failure where the heart’s squeezing is still preserved. It may help improve how patients are monitored during hospital visits.
