Metabolic patterns in septic shock patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the ICU (intensive care unit) with septic shock (infection causing very low blood pressure).
- Your doctor has decided to give you a 'fluid challenge' (a small IV fluid test) to see how your body responds.
- Your hospital stay started within the last 24 hours.
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- Your blood-pressure medication dose has not changed much in the last 15 minutes (less than 10% change).
- You are not on continuous dialysis (kidney replacement therapy).

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 study looks at how the body responds to extra fluids in patients with severe infections (septic shock) who are on a breathing machine. It may help doctors better manage fluid treatment in the ICU.
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 study looks at how well blood flows through your body's tissues and whether extra fluids help. It aims to see if measuring certain markers can help doctors better manage fluids in septic shock patients.
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.
