Can a water pill get ICU patients home faster?

NCT ID NCT04180397

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a drug called furosemide (a water pill) can safely help intensive care patients who have too much fluid in their bodies. About 1000 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either furosemide or a placebo until the extra fluid is gone. The goal is to see if this treatment helps patients leave the hospital sooner and reduces complications.
