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 a non-invasive light-based device on your arm muscle to see if you need more fluids. It aims to replace invasive monitoring for patients with arterial lines.
This study tests whether doing low-weight leg exercises with a blood pressure cuff (to partially restrict blood flow) can change how your brain responds to movement. It is for healthy young adults who want to understand how a simple exercise method affects nerve signals.
