Ultrasound-guided blood draws for sepsis testing
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to draw blood for infection testing using ultrasound to guide the needle. It may help make blood draws easier and safer for critically ill patients in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU)
- Have a suspected infection (sepsis) that needs a blood culture test
- Not be pregnant
- Not have an infection that requires special isolation, and no burns or skin disease on your arms or covering more than 60% of your body

This study tests whether ICU nurses can use a special ultrasound technique (called VExUS) to check for blood flow problems in patients with sepsis. It aims to help detect and treat these issues earlier, potentially improving outcomes.
This study tests two new blood tests to see if they can help doctors find sepsis earlier in the emergency department. Sepsis is a serious condition where the body overreacts to an infection, and finding it quickly could lead to faster treatment and better outcomes.
This study looks at how a measurement from a bedside heart ultrasound changes while treating people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand how to monitor response to treatment using a quick ultrasound test.
This study aims to find new ways to quickly diagnose sepsis (a severe response to infection) in patients arriving at the emergency room. If successful, these new tests could help doctors start treatment faster.
This study tests a new blood test that may quickly find bacteria or yeast causing a bloodstream infection. It uses a small extra blood sample taken at the same time as your regular blood culture, and could help doctors identify the infection faster.
This trial looks at patterns in certain immune cells (neutrophils) in people with sepsis in the ICU, including those who have a breathing tube. It may help doctors better understand how the immune system changes during sepsis and could guide future care.
