- Conditions
- Fluid Overload Pulmonary Edema, Fluid Overload, Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated, Fluid Overload Without Edema

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Pulmonary ultrasoundDiagnostic test
Pulmonary ultrasound is a basic application of critical ultrasound, defined as a loop associating urgent diagnoses with immediate therapeutic decisions.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrasound Guided Fluid Therapy | Experimental | Not described Receives: Diagnostic Test: Pulmonary ultrasound |
| Conventional Fluid Therapy | No intervention | Not described |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Length of stay
Number of days that the patient requires care in the ICU
Measured: through study completion, an average of 14 days
Secondary outcomes (3)
Oxygenation Index
Measure of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) and its usage within the body.
Measured: Daily through study completion, an average of 14 days
PaO2/FIO2
Ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen
Measured: Daily through study completion, an average of 14 days
Duration of mechanical ventilation
Days that a patient remains under mechanical ventilation
Measured: through study completion, an average of 14 days

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Pulmonary ultrasound in people with Fluid Overload Pulmonary Edema and Fluid Overload, run by Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social at 1 site in Mexico.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Mexico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Length of stay (time frame: through study completion, an average of 14 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
