Testing albumin vs fluids for septic shock in the ER
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving albumin instead of standard crystalloid fluids helps adults with septic shock. It may improve how well your body circulates blood and reduces strain on organs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 years or older
- You come directly to the emergency department (not transferred from another hospital)
- Doctors suspect sepsis with shock (low blood pressure plus signs your tissues aren’t getting enough oxygen)
- Your initial blood test shows high lactate (at least 4 mmol/L), if they use that level to confirm shock
- You can and do give voluntary consent to join the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a protein in the blood) along with standard fluids helps patients with septic shock after a surgical infection. The goal is to see if it improves recovery and survival compared to fluids alone.
This trial tests a special fluid management strategy for people in septic shock—a serious infection that causes very low blood pressure. It aims to improve blood flow to organs and help you recover.
This trial compares the use of a simple ultrasound test of the lungs and heart to help doctors decide how much fluid to give adults with septic shock. The goal is to find the most accurate way to guide treatment, which could lead to better recovery.
This study tests if giving fewer fluids (other than the fluids to keep blood pressure up) can help people recover from septic shock. It compares a reduced fluid strategy to the usual care in the ICU.
This trial tests a new approach to treating septic shock, a life-threatening condition where infection causes dangerously low blood pressure. It aims to see if a different way of managing fluids and medications can improve recovery compared to standard care.
This study tests a computer software that helps doctors decide how much fluid to give patients in septic shock. It aims to improve blood pressure and oxygen delivery without causing fluid overload.
