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 study is for adults in the intensive care unit with septic shock (a severe infection that drops blood pressure). It looks at how well your body holds fluid and whether treatment can be safely reduced.
This trial tests whether using specific safety signals can prevent harm from too much fluid given during septic shock. It may help guide doctors to stop fluids at the right time.
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids and blood pressure medicines in patients with septic shock. It aims to find if using a specific blood flow measurement (capillary refill time) can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
This study observes how doctors treat septic shock in intensive care units. It aims to understand current practices and improve care for patients with severe infections and low blood pressure.
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.
