Ultrasound checks of belly veins after surgery in the ICU
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at blood flow in veins near the liver and spleen shortly after surgery. It helps doctors understand how well these veins are working in patients who are in the intensive care unit, which may guide better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have been admitted to the intensive care unit within 72 hours after having surgery.
- You need to have a good ultrasound view of your belly, so the doctor can see the veins clearly.
- You must be able to give written consent, or have someone legally allowed to consent for you.
