NCT ID NCT03592290
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses a special chamber that creates mild blood-pooling in the legs to safely mimic early blood loss in 120 healthy adults aged 20-45. Researchers will compare signals from different body monitors to see which one best detects the change. The goal is to find a more reliable way to spot hidden bleeding or shock before it becomes dangerous.
