ICU fluid overload: scientists seek safer removal strategies
NCT ID NCT07275658
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study observes 150 ICU patients who need excess fluid removed. Researchers will track how fast and when fluid is removed, and look for signs of success or side effects like low blood pressure. The goal is to find safer, more personalized fluid removal methods, but this study does not test a new treatment.
