First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at different methods to predict whether giving IV fluids will help raise blood pressure in patients with impaired consciousness. Researchers will compare tests like ultrasound of the vena cava, leg raising, and fluid challenges in 222 ICU patients. The goal is to find which methods are most accurate in this specific group, where data is currently lacking.
