NCT ID NCT03823820
First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study is testing a simple bedside device called a bioimpedance analyser to measure body water changes in pregnant women. Researchers will compare its readings to standard fluid charts in 900 women, including those having planned C-sections, induced labor, or conditions like pre-eclampsia. The goal is to see if this non-invasive tool can reliably track hydration status during pregnancy and labor.

What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The device may not prove accurate enough to replace current methods, and results may not apply to all pregnancies.
