Ultrasound to measure belly space in infection
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound (sound waves) to measure the space inside your belly. It helps doctors see how an infection is affecting your abdomen. You may be able to join if you are in the ICU with a belly infection and have had a recent CT scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are expected to be in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 3 days.
- You have a known infection inside your belly (like an infected organ, peritonitis, or an abscess).
- You have had a CT scan of your belly within the last 3 days of being in the ICU.
- You do not have any wounds, swelling, or bleeding on your belly that would prevent an ultrasound.

This study tests whether using ultrasound to guide blood draws for infection tests works better in critically ill patients with suspected sepsis. It could help find infections faster and more safely.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) combined with a standard pressure measurement (CVP) can better predict outcomes for people with sepsis in the ICU. The goal is to see if these tools help doctors make better treatment decisions.
This study measures fluid levels outside your cells to better understand and manage sepsis. It may help doctors give the right amount of fluids during treatment.
This trial uses a painless ultrasound to measure blood flow in the belly of adults with septic shock. It aims to see if this can help doctors give better care.
