Reducing fluids in septic shock care
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have septic shock (a severe infection causing low blood pressure and high lactate) that started within the last 12 hours of being in the ICU.
- You are still on medication (vasopressors) to keep your blood pressure stable at the time of screening.
- You are not pregnant and have not been in this trial before.
- We will check you are within 12 hours of ICU admission.

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 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.
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.
This study tracks how doctors treat septic shock in the ICU to learn what works best. If you have septic shock, joining this study helps researchers understand which treatments are most effective, and you'll get the same care you would anyway.
This study looks at how the body uses energy (metabolism) in people with septic shock. It collects information from standard monitoring during a fluid challenge (a small IV fluid test) to find patterns that might help doctors better understand and treat septic shock.
This trial tests a special fluid management strategy for people in septic shock—a serious infection that causes very low blood pressure. It aims to improve blood flow to organs and help you recover.
