Testing a heart health tool for septic shock recovery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to be in the intensive care unit (ICU) with a serious infection causing a drop in blood pressure (septic shock).
- You must be on medication to raise your blood pressure, and have been on it for at least 4 hours.
- You need to be on a breathing machine (ventilator) to help you breathe.
- Your blood pressure and heart function must be stable enough to start slowly reducing the blood pressure medication.

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.
This trial studies how blood flow and organ “perfusion” look in ICU patients who are struggling with infection and low blood pressure. It may help doctors better measure and manage shock by comparing hemodynamic readings during standard treatment.
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 study tests whether using ultrasound (heart imaging and blood-vessel scanning) helps doctors treat septic shock—a life-threatening blood infection—more effectively. The trial measures whether these imaging tools help guide fluid and medication decisions during resuscitation.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much blood the heart pumps in patients with septic shock, a severe infection that causes dangerously low blood pressure. It may help doctors better understand and manage this condition.
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.
