Capillary refill time to guide septic shock treatment
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have septic shock (a serious infection causing low blood pressure despite fluids)
- You have been diagnosed with septic shock within the last 4 hours
- You are not bleeding actively
- You are not pregnant

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 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 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 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 trial looks at how well the heart and blood vessels are working in people with septic shock. It helps doctors decide the best way to reduce blood pressure medication safely.
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.
