Comparing two fluid strategies for severe infection
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study is testing two different ways of giving intravenous fluids to patients with sepsis (a severe infection) who have low blood pressure. It aims to find out whether giving more or less fluid is better for recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must already be enrolled in one of the listed trials (ARISE FLUIDS, CLASSIC, CLOVERS, EVIS).
- Confirmed or suspected infection.
- Low blood pressure (systolic < 100 or mean arterial < 65).
- Blood lactate level of 2.0 mmol/L or higher.
- Require vasopressor medication to maintain blood pressure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the body responds to extra fluids in patients with severe infections (sepsis) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to understand how fluids affect blood flow and congestion to improve treatment.
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 study tests an investigational fluid called VBI-S to see if it can help raise blood pressure in people with septic shock who are not responding to standard fluids. You may qualify if you have severe infection and low blood pressure that needs medication support.
This trial tests a new way to see if giving more fluids helps patients with septic shock, a severe infection that drops blood pressure. It uses a quick heart ultrasound to check if fluids will improve blood flow, aiming to guide better treatment.
This study compares two ways to start treating septic shock: giving fluids first or giving blood-pressure-raising medicines (vasopressors) first. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better.
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.
