Can a neck ultrasound replace invasive fluid monitors in bypass surgery?
NCT ID NCT07245485
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study with 50 adults undergoing coronary bypass surgery tested whether a neck ultrasound (corrected carotid flow time) and a simple leg-raising maneuver can reliably show if a patient needs more fluids. The goal was to find a non-invasive alternative to standard invasive monitoring. Results will help guide future fluid management during heart surgery.
