Ultrasound could predict dangerous blood pressure drops during ICU dialysis
NCT ID NCT07397663
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether ultrasound can help predict a sudden drop in blood pressure when ICU patients start a type of dialysis. Researchers will monitor 80 adults using heart and body scans before and during treatment. The goal is to find early warning signs to prevent complications.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients (aged 18 years and older) admitted to the intensive care unit of a tertiary care academic hospital who have a clinical indication for continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF). All participants are critically ill and require renal replacement therapy as part of standard clinical care. Transthoracic echocardiography and bedside ultrasonographic and hemodynamic assessments are performed as part of routine intensive care evaluation and are recorded for observational purposes only. No healthy volunteers are included in this study. Written informed consent is obtained from the patients' legal representatives prior to study inclusion.
