Ultrasound vein check to guide fluids after trauma
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two ultrasound methods (checking the vein in your neck versus the large vein in your abdomen) to see which better predicts whether you need fluids after a traumatic injury. It aims to help doctors give the right amount of fluids quickly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a recent injury (like from a car crash, fall, or wound) that caused bleeding and signs of shock (low blood pressure, fast heartbeat).
- You must be able to breathe on your own without a breathing tube.
- You must arrive at the emergency department within 6 hours of the injury.
- You must be able to have an ultrasound at the bedside to check your veins before starting emergency fluids.

This trial compares two ways to check if a person in shock needs more fluids: one using an ultrasound of the large vein in the belly, and the other using a standard pressure measurement from a tube in the neck or chest. The goal is to find the safer, quicker method to give the right amount of fluid.
This study tests if using ultrasound to look at a neck vein can help doctors decide how much fluid to give trauma patients who are in shock. The goal is to give the right amount of fluid to help recovery without overloading the heart.
This study tests whether measuring the size of a vein in your groin using ultrasound can help doctors decide if you need more fluids when you're critically ill in the ICU. The goal is to improve how doctors manage fluid treatment for patients on breathing machines.
This trial uses special ultrasound (Doppler) to look at blood flow in the kidneys and liver after a serious injury. It aims to find patterns that could help doctors better understand and treat trauma patients.
This study tests whether a simple bedside test—raising your legs while lying down—can help doctors decide if you need more fluids. It uses an ultrasound to measure how well your heart pumps blood during this test.
This study uses ultrasound to look at how well the veins in your neck, leg, and belly respond to fluids given to raise your blood pressure after a severe injury. The goal is to help doctors give the right amount of fluids to improve blood flow.
