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 to safely remove excess fluid from patients in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure and are on a special blood-filtering machine (CRRT). Researchers want to understand which patients have trouble tolerating fluid removal and how to prevent complications.
This study looks at how urine output after being in the intensive care unit (ICU) can help detect early kidney problems. It may help doctors better monitor and protect kidney function in critically ill patients.
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 study talks to adults who have been in an intensive care unit (ICU) to understand their views on life-sustaining treatments, end-of-life wishes, and when they would want less or more care. It aims to improve how doctors and families make these hard decisions together.
This trial is studying how well a scoring system (SOFA-2) works in Turkish intensive care units (ICUs) to measure how sick patients are. It may help doctors better understand and treat people in ICUs in Türkiye.
