Ultrasound-guided fluid therapy for septic shock patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound technique (VEXUS) can guide personalized fluid treatment for patients with septic shock. It aims to help doctors give the right amount of fluids to improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with septic shock within the last 12 hours, needing medication to maintain blood pressure, high lactic acid levels, and a confirmed or suspected infection
- You have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) for less than 48 hours
- You are not on kidney dialysis or have a decision already made to start it
- You do not have active bleeding causing unstable blood pressure

This study tests whether a special ultrasound score (VEXUS) can help doctors predict how well people with septic shock will do. It might help identify those who need more intensive treatment.
This trial tests whether specially trained ICU nurses can use ultrasound (VExUS) to check for blood flow backup in the veins of patients with sepsis. It aims to improve early detection of fluid overload 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 tests whether using ultrasound (heart imaging and blood-vessel scanning) helps doctors treat septic shock—a life-threatening blood infection—more effectively. The trial measures whether these imaging tools help guide fluid and medication decisions during resuscitation.
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 study is testing a new way of measuring how much fluid leaks from your blood vessels during severe infection (septic shock). The goal is to help doctors decide how much fluid to give, which may improve recovery and prevent complications.
