Summary

This study will enroll 80 adults in the emergency department who are in shock from blood loss, infection, or bleeding. Researchers will compare two ways to detect low blood volume: an ultrasound of the inferior vena cava (a large vein) versus a standard pressure monitoring catheter. The goal is to see which method is more accurate and helpful for guiding fluid treatment.
