IVC ultrasound study for fluid status assessment
This trial uses ultrasound to check fluid levels in the body by looking at a large vein called the IVC. It may help doctors decide if you need more or less fluids.

This study uses ultrasound to measure fluid levels in hospitalized patients. It helps doctors understand how well your body is managing fluids, which can guide treatment decisions.
This study compares two ways to check if a patient with septic shock needs more IV fluids: one uses a standard central line (CVP), and the other uses an ultrasound of the big vein in the belly (IVC). Both aim to guide safe fluid treatment.
This trial compares using ultrasound of the large belly vein (IVC) versus a standard pressure measurement to see if you need more fluids when in shock. It aims to find a quicker, safer way to guide treatment in the emergency room.
This trial uses ultrasound measurements of the neck blood flow and abdominal vein size to help doctors choose safer fluid treatment for people with acute kidney injury. It may help reduce complications from too little or too much fluid during recovery.
This trial looks at how the size of a major vein in your belly (the IVC) changes when you get fluids, and whether this helps doctors give the right amount of fluids for people with traumatic brain injury. It's a way to avoid giving too little or too much fluid after a head injury.
This study uses bedside ultrasound to check how much your leg and neck veins collapse when you have low blood volume from severe injuries. The goal is to see if this helps doctors decide how much fluid to give during resuscitation.
