Arm light may replace needles for fluid decisions in ICU

NCT ID NCT07298720

First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tests a new, non-invasive device that uses light to measure blood flow and oxygen in the arm muscle of critically ill ICU patients. The goal is to see if these light-based measurements can predict whether a patient will benefit from more fluids, compared to standard invasive methods. 200 adult ICU patients with arterial lines will be observed during a leg-raising maneuver. If successful, this could lead to a safer, needle-free way to guide fluid treatment.
