Testing a new care approach for septic shock
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have septic shock (a serious infection leading to low blood pressure and high lactate levels).
- You must be enrolled within 4 hours of being diagnosed with septic shock.
- You cannot have active bleeding, be pregnant, or have severe liver disease (Child B or C cirrhosis).
- You cannot have a very high risk of death within 24 hours or a life expectancy less than 3 months from another condition.
- You cannot be scheduled for surgery or a kidney replacement therapy within the next 6 hours.

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.
This study looks at a specific resuscitation (rescue) approach for adults in septic shock, using a bedside skin test called capillary refill time. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether this approach better stabilizes your body and improves outcomes.
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 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.
This trial examines how the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (a hormone system that helps control blood pressure) changes in patients with septic shock, compared to those with sepsis without shock, cardiogenic shock, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand these changes and possibly improve treatment.
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.
