Checking skin blood flow in ICU patients with shock
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to check blood flow in the tiny blood vessels of the skin for people in the ICU with circulatory failure from sepsis or heart failure. It helps doctors understand how well blood is reaching tissues, which may guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have a sudden, serious problem with blood flow (circulatory failure) caused by either sepsis (a severe infection) or heart failure.
- You are receiving a treatment to help your blood circulation.
- You are not feeling very agitated or restless.
- You do not have heavy bleeding (hemorrhagic shock).
- You do not have severe skin wounds or injuries.

This study looks at what happens to people with cardiogenic shock while they are in the intensive care unit (ICU), including how their heart and blood circulation change over time. It may help doctors better understand the course of illness in this specific type of shock and improve care.
This study compares two quick methods for checking blood flow and oxygen delivery in very sick patients in the ICU. It helps doctors understand which measurement works better to spot patients who need urgent help.
This trial tests and compares three methods used to measure circulation and blood flow during acute shock (a dangerous drop in blood pressure). It may help doctors choose the most reliable tool to guide treatment in urgent care or intensive care settings.
This study checks if a simple blood flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
This trial studies how blood flow and organ “perfusion” look in ICU patients who are struggling with infection and low blood pressure. It may help doctors better measure and manage shock by comparing hemodynamic readings during standard treatment.
This study looks at how well blood flows to the skin of patients with sepsis in the ICU. It aims to see if this can help predict recovery and guide care.
