Fluid monitoring during septic shock recovery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older and have septic shock, meaning an infection causing low blood pressure that needs medication and a high lactate level.
- Doctors expect you to be in the intensive care unit for more than 3 days.
- You have been in the intensive care unit for less than 3 days at the time of joining the study.
- You are not refusing to participate, and no decision has been made to stop life support.
- You are not considered too close to death (moribund) or under legal guardianship (curator).

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 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.
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 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.
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 study observes how doctors treat septic shock in intensive care units. It aims to understand current practices and improve care for patients with severe infections and low blood pressure.
