This study tested a method to keep fluid levels neutral in 65 critically ill patients with acute kidney injury who were on a type of dialysis. The approach used advanced heart monitoring to safely match fluid removal to fluid intake. The goal was to see if this could reduce compl…

This study tested whether a new extended-release version of the diuretic torsemide helps people with heart failure get rid of more salt (sodium) in their urine after lunch compared to the standard immediate-release version. Twenty adults with stable heart failure who were already…

This study tested a new way to give the water pill furosemide—as a single shot under the skin—compared to the standard method through an IV line. Twenty-one healthy adults aged 45 to 80 took part. The goal was to see how well the body absorbs the drug and how it affects urine out…

This study looked at 39 intensive care patients with acute kidney failure who needed dialysis to remove extra fluid. Researchers tested three different fluid removal rates to see which one caused the fewest dangerous drops in blood pressure while still effectively managing fluid …

This study tested whether a breathing test can help doctors predict if heart surgery patients need more fluids. 90 adults on breathing machines were observed after surgery. The goal was to see if the test could prevent fluid overload, a common complication.

This study looked at whether measuring the size of a large vein (the inferior vena cava) through the liver can predict if a patient needs more fluids. It involved 40 adults in the ICU after heart surgery. The goal was to find a safe, non-invasive way to guide fluid treatment and …
