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 looks at how the body responds to extra fluids in patients with severe infections (sepsis) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to understand how fluids affect blood flow and congestion to improve treatment.
This study tracks how doctors treat septic shock in the ICU to learn what works best. If you have septic shock, joining this study helps researchers understand which treatments are most effective, and you'll get the same care you would anyway.
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 looks at how the immune system changes after septic shock in adults in the ICU. It may help doctors better predict or manage complications by studying blood markers a few days after starting treatment.
This study looks at whether a metabolite (nutrient) supplement can help the body’s cells work better when someone is in septic shock. It is done in the ICU, and it may benefit people with sepsis who still have poor circulation and high lactate levels despite standard treatment.
This study looks at how a hormone system that controls blood pressure acts in people with septic shock (a severe infection causing low blood pressure). It compares patients with septic shock, sepsis without shock, cardiogenic shock, and healthy people to find differences that might lead to better treatments.
