ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Fluid Responsiveness in Prone Patients," is looking to understand how patients who are placed on their stomach (prone position) respond to fluid treatments. This is important because it helps doctors know the best way to manage fluids in patients who need this type of positioning for their care. The trial is currently not recruiting participants, but when it starts, it will focus on adults aged 65 to 74 years, regardless of gender.

To be eligible for this study, patients must be scheduled to be placed in the prone position for treatment. However, certain individuals cannot participate, including those who cannot give consent, have irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia), are pregnant, have certain lung conditions (like pneumothorax), already have too much fluid in their bodies, or cannot have specialized catheters placed. Participants in this trial can expect to contribute to important research that may help improve treatment for future patients, while also receiving careful monitoring and care throughout the study.
