NCT ID NCT07258875
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a special ultrasound technique called VExUS can help doctors manage fluids better during chest surgery. The goal is to see if it lowers the chance of lung and kidney problems after surgery. About 230 adults having video-assisted lung surgery will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) protocol
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that using VExUS ultrasound to guide fluid management reduces the risk of lung and kidney complications after thoracic surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study focused on measuring outcomes, not a treatment. The approach may not significantly improve patient outcomes or may be difficult to implement widely.
