NCT ID NCT07361952

First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tests if giving patients plain water to drink works as well as giving fluids through an IV in the emergency department. About 250 adults who need fluids will be randomly assigned to either drink tap water or receive standard IV fluids. The main goal is to see if both methods deliver the same amount of fluid and if a larger trial is possible.
