Ultrasound-guided blood draw for infection tests in ICU
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether using ultrasound to guide blood draws for infection tests works better in critically ill patients with suspected sepsis. It could help find infections faster and more safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You have suspected sepsis and need a blood culture test
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have an infection that requires respiratory isolation
- You do not have burns or a skin condition that affects your arms or more than 60% of your body

This trial tests whether specially trained ICU nurses can use ultrasound (VExUS) to check for blood flow backup in the veins of patients with sepsis. It aims to improve early detection of fluid overload in the ICU.
This study compares two blood test methods to help predict sepsis (a severe infection) and patient outcomes in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors identify high-risk patients faster and more accurately.
This trial uses a painless ultrasound to measure blood flow in the belly of adults with septic shock. It aims to see if this can help doctors give better care.
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 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.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) combined with a standard pressure measurement (CVP) can better predict outcomes for people with sepsis in the ICU. The goal is to see if these tools help doctors make better treatment decisions.
