Lung Ultrasound Guided Protocol for Fluid Management for the Critically Ill Patient: a Randomized Study

NCT03393065 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) this bedside method of assessing lung congestion could be useful in a better management of the critically ill patients with a wide range of respiratory failure causes (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, COPD, acute pulmonary edema, pneumonia etc.). Fluid management is a key issue in the ICU where patients are either hemodynamic unstable and/or mechanically ventilated. A randomized study is proposed where in the interventional arm the fluid management (volume replacement, diuretics, use of vasopressors) will be guided using the BLS as a sign of pulmonary congestion.
