Testing how a heart ultrasound finding changes in sepsis treatment
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how a measurement from a bedside heart ultrasound changes while treating people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand how to monitor response to treatment using a quick ultrasound test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be diagnosed with sepsis or septic shock
- You must be older than 17 years
- You would likely be able to do a bedside ultrasound exam (POCUS)
- You must not be currently in the emergency department
- You (or your legal representative) must be able to give consent

This study looks at how checking heart function with an ultrasound during early sepsis treatment can help guide fluid and medication decisions. It may lead to better recovery by tailoring treatment to each patient's heart.
This study looks at how well the heart and blood vessels work together in people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand heart function better during serious infections, which could lead to improved care.
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 how sepsis and other infections affect survival in hospitalized heart patients. It is designed for people who are being treated for a heart condition and either have no infection or have a specific type of infection or heart inflammation.
This study tests whether ICU nurses can use a special ultrasound technique (called VExUS) to check for blood flow problems in patients with sepsis. It aims to help detect and treat these issues earlier, potentially improving outcomes.
This trial studies how well a simple check (the 'modified shock index') can predict the outlook for patients with sepsis in the emergency department. The goal is to help doctors identify who might be at higher risk so they can provide faster, more targeted care.
