Which heart monitor is better for shock? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07020637
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two methods for measuring stroke volume (how much blood the heart pumps) in people with shock. It will enroll 30 critically ill adults in the ICU. Researchers will use both an ultrasound (echocardiography) and a noninvasive monitor (bioreactance) to see how well the measurements match.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria * Age ≥ 18 years * Clinical diagnosis of shock as determined by the treating ICU physician (e.g., hypotension requiring vasopressors or evidence of end-organ hypoperfusion) * Able to obtain informed consent from the patient or a legally authorized representative * Enrollment within 24 hours of ICU admission Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnancy * Known severe aortic valve disease or dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction * Morbid obesity (BMI \> 40) that precludes accurate echocardiographic imaging Presence of cardiac arrhythmias (e.g., atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response) affecting stroke volume measurements * Implanted cardiac assist devices (e.g., LVAD, pacemaker dependency) * Imminent death or decision for comfort care only
