This study is watching how blood flow patterns in your kidneys and liver change after a major traumatic injury during your first three days in intensive care. The researchers will use ultrasound machines—the same safe, painless technology used in pregnancy check-ups—placed at your bedside to measure these blood flow patterns. The goal is to understand whether these changes can predict which patients might develop kidney problems or need breathing support.
After major trauma, patients can develop serious complications in their kidneys and liver, but doctors don't yet have reliable bedside tools to predict who will get sicker. This study is testing whether simple ultrasound measurements can spot dangerous blood flow changes early, so doctors can help patients before serious problems develop.

If you're eligible, trained doctors will perform gentle ultrasound scans on your abdomen when you arrive in intensive care, and then again at 24, 48, and 72 hours later. These scans take just a few minutes and carry no risk—no needles, no radiation, no extra medications. After you leave the hospital, the team will check your kidney function once more at six months to see how you've recovered.
