ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how effective an ultrasound technique called the SCV (Superior Vena Cava) collapsibility index is in estimating the fluid needs of patients who are in shock due to trauma. Shock is a serious condition where the body doesn’t get enough blood flow, often requiring immediate medical attention. The researchers want to see if measuring the collapsibility of the SCV can help doctors decide how much fluid these patients will need in the first 24 hours after treatment begins.

To participate in the study, individuals must be traumatic patients admitted to the emergency department at Assiut University Hospital between March 2025 and March 2026. Eligible participants are typically aged between 18 and 60, and they cannot be pregnant or have certain medical conditions that would prevent them from receiving fluid treatments. If someone agrees to participate, they can expect to undergo ultrasound tests before and after the first hour of their treatment to help doctors make better decisions about their care. It’s important to know that participation is completely voluntary, and patients or their families can choose not to be part of the study.
