Monitoring blood flow in ICU patients with severe infection or shock
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study monitors tiny blood vessels under the tongue using a non-invasive device to see how well blood flows in ICU patients on a breathing machine. Researchers hope to improve care for patients with serious infections or shock.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator).
- It has been less than 24 hours since you were admitted to the ICU.
- You have no known allergy to the textile parts of the monitoring device.
- You do not have severe jaundice (yellowing of skin) or large bruises.
- You are not expected to pass away in the next 24 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 study tests how repeatable a new way to measure tiny blood vessels under the tongue is. It looks at both healthy people and very ill patients in the intensive care unit to see if the measurement is consistent.
This study looks at a special blood flow monitor (perfusion index) to see if it can help doctors decide when to give blood pressure raising medicines in patients with serious infections. It might help doctors better treat sepsis and septic shock.
This study looks at how well blood flows to your skin and tissues during sepsis in the ICU. Doctors will check your circulation and see if it relates to how you recover.
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 trial tests a personalized approach to giving IV fluids to patients with sepsis in the emergency department. It uses a device to monitor your heart and blood flow to help doctors decide how much fluid you need, which may improve recovery.
