Ultrasound and urine-guided fluid management in acute heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing whether a diuretic (water pill) dose tailored to each patient works better for treating fluid buildup during a heart failure flare-up. It may help you get the right amount of medication faster and avoid complications.
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 trial tests a new way to adjust diuretic (water pill) doses based on urine sodium levels in patients hospitalized for worsening heart failure. The goal is to improve fluid removal and get patients home sooner.
This trial uses a simple urine test to see if your current water pill dose is right for you. The goal is to find the best dose to reduce symptoms and avoid hospital visits.
This study tests whether using ultrasound-guided treatment to reduce fluid buildup in the body can help people hospitalized for worsening heart failure feel better faster. It's for adults admitted with heart failure and high BNP levels.
This trial tests whether using a bedside ultrasound to guide diuretic treatment improves outcomes in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure. It may help find the right dose of IV diuretics faster.
