Blood pressure management in critically ill patients
This study tests how best to manage blood pressure in critically ill patients using medicines called vasopressors. It aims to find the safest and most effective blood pressure target for people in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently on a medication to raise blood pressure or will soon receive one.
- Your blood pressure has been low (below 75 mmHg) at least once.
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for more than 24 hours.
- You do not have a recent brain injury, spinal cord injury, or certain organ transplants.

This study looks at a special blood flow monitor (perfusion index) to see if it can help doctors decide when to give blood pressure raising medicines in patients with serious infections. It might help doctors better treat sepsis and septic shock.
This study compares individualized blood pressure goals versus the usual (standard) targets for adults in the ICU with shock. The aim is to see whether tailored blood pressure treatment can improve outcomes by better matching each person’s needs.
This study tests whether giving platelet transfusions to critically ill patients with very low platelet counts helps prevent dangerous bleeding. If you're in the ICU with a very low platelet count, this trial might help decide the best way to keep you safe.
This trial studies whether “blood pressure–supporting” medicines (given through a central line) work well and safely for adults in the ICU who have shock. Your team may use the results to improve care for people with low blood pressure and poor blood flow to organs.
This study looks at how giving platelets to patients with low platelet counts affects the health of small blood vessels. It aims to see if platelet transfusions help improve blood flow and vessel function in critically ill patients.
This study looks at the relationship between blood pressure and the amount of blood the heart pumps in critically ill patients. It may help doctors better understand and manage your condition in the ICU.
