Fluid Practice Study in Intensive Care Units
This study observes how doctors use intravenous fluids (IV fluids) to treat patients in intensive care units. Researchers will review medical records to understand current fluid practices and see if there are better ways to manage fluid care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This survey asks doctors in Southeast Asian ICUs about how they use fluids (like IV fluids) for their patients. It's a simple questionnaire to understand current practices and help improve care.
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 trial collects and studies health information from people who are critically ill and admitted to an intensive care unit. It may help doctors learn how to better care for ICU patients in the future.
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 focuses on critically ill people in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to learn what affects outcomes and resources, which may help improve how care is planned for ICU patients.
This study looks at how your immune system and inflammation affect your recovery in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand why some patients do better than others.
