Summary

This study tested whether a lung ultrasound can detect early signs of fluid overload in patients during surgery. Doctors gave fluids to 200 adults having various surgeries and used ultrasound to look for changes in the lungs. The goal was to see if the ultrasound matches standard methods for deciding when to stop giving fluids. The approach is non-invasive and could help prevent complications from too much fluid.
