Tests three ways to measure blood flow in shock
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests and compares three methods used to measure circulation and blood flow during acute shock (a dangerous drop in blood pressure). It may help doctors choose the most reliable tool to guide treatment in urgent care or intensive care settings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently in acute shock with low blood pressure (for example, systolic ≤90, or MAP ≤70)
- Your shock is also showing signs like mottled/patchy skin and fast heart rate (at least 100 beats/min)
- You have reduced urine output (≤0.5 mL/kg) for at least 2 hours
- Your blood lactate is high (at least 4 mmol/L), suggesting the body isn’t getting enough oxygen
- You can be monitored with good-quality arterial measurement signals and good ultrasound (echo) images

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 tests a new way of giving fluids and medicines to people with septic shock. It focuses on a simple sign called capillary refill time (how fast color returns when you press a fingernail) to guide treatment, aiming to improve recovery.
This trial tests a special way to monitor tiny blood vessels (microcirculation) in patients with sepsis. The goal is to see if early treatment based on these readings can help improve recovery.
This study looks at two ways to check blood flow and oxygen use in people with septic shock, a severe infection-related condition. It aims to see if a simple bedside test (fingertip refill) and a blood measure (oxygen extraction ratio) agree, which could help guide treatment.
This study is testing a new way of measuring how much fluid leaks from your blood vessels during severe infection (septic shock). The goal is to help doctors decide how much fluid to give, which may improve recovery and prevent complications.
This study uses a special light sensor to measure blood flow waves in patients with septic shock. The goal is to see if these waves can help doctors understand how severe the shock is.
