Ultrasound could guide emergency bleeding control
NCT ID NCT07707921
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether pressing on the abdomen with an ultrasound probe can temporarily stop blood flow in the main artery (aorta) in healthy adults aged 18-40. The goal is to see if this technique is effective and tolerable, potentially offering a more accurate way to control severe bleeding in emergencies. Participants will have their abdominal aorta compressed under ultrasound guidance for up to 30 seconds while blood flow is monitored.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ultrasound-guided external abdominal aortic compression
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this technique could provide a more precise way to control severe bleeding in emergencies, potentially saving lives.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study in healthy volunteers, so results may not translate to real trauma situations. The technique may be difficult to perform or cause discomfort.
