Ultrasound-guided fluid therapy for septic shock
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound of the veins can help doctors give the right amount of fluids to people with septic shock. It aims to improve recovery by personalizing treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be diagnosed with septic shock within the last 12 hours.
- You must be in the intensive care unit (ICU) for less than 48 hours.
- You cannot be on dialysis or have a plan to start dialysis.
- You cannot have liver cirrhosis or a sulfa drug allergy.

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 compares the use of a simple ultrasound test of the lungs and heart to help doctors decide how much fluid to give adults with septic shock. The goal is to find the most accurate way to guide treatment, which could lead to better recovery.
This trial tests a new way to see if giving more fluids helps patients with septic shock, a severe infection that drops blood pressure. It uses a quick heart ultrasound to check if fluids will improve blood flow, aiming to guide better treatment.
This study tests whether ICU nurses can use a special ultrasound technique (called VExUS) to check for blood flow problems in patients with sepsis. It aims to help detect and treat these issues earlier, potentially improving outcomes.
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 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.
