Breathing test to predict organ failure in severe sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at a simple breathing test to see if it can help predict which patients with severe sepsis (a serious infection that affects the whole body) might develop organ failure. It aims to help doctors provide earlier and more targeted care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 years or older).
- You must have severe sepsis or septic shock, which means a serious infection causing organ problems or very low blood pressure.
- You must be on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You must be enrolled within the first 6 hours of arriving at the ICU.
- You cannot have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a long-term lung condition.
- You cannot have a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) or hospice order, or be expected to pass away within 48 hours.

This study checks if a simple blood flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
This trial is looking for patients who have an infection and are showing early signs of getting sicker, like a high warning score. It aims to find out if doctors can identify those at risk of sepsis sooner so they can start treatment earlier.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help doctors find out if ICU patients with infections are likely to develop sepsis within the next 48 hours. If you join, the researchers will measure a protein in your blood and follow you to see if you get sepsis.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well the diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) is working in people with septic shock. The goal is to predict who might need a breathing machine, so doctors can act faster and possibly improve outcomes.
This study looks at the early changes in the lungs of people with sepsis who develop a severe breathing problem called ARDS. Researchers will collect small samples of lung fluid to better understand the condition and potentially improve future treatments.
This trial is testing whether certain markers in your blood or other samples can help doctors diagnose sepsis (a severe infection that affects your organs) more quickly. If you join, the study will use samples already collected to look for these markers, which might lead to faster treatment for future patients.
