Heart ultrasound guidance for treatment of septic shock after childbirth
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to guide treatment for new mothers with septic shock after childbirth. One method uses heart ultrasound to guide therapy, while the other uses standard blood pressure targets. The goal is to see which approach improves outcomes for mothers who are critically ill from infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You gave birth within the last 6 weeks
- You have septic shock (severe infection causing very low blood pressure)
- You do not have a history of long-term heart disease
- You do not need immediate surgery
- You can safely have a heart ultrasound and a central line (a special IV)
- You are not in a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) status

This study uses ultrasound to measure how much blood the heart pumps in patients with septic shock, a severe infection that causes dangerously low blood pressure. It may help doctors better understand and manage this condition.
This study tests how using a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) can help doctors better manage care for very sick newborns in the NICU. It may help guide treatment for babies who are unstable, regardless of their weight or how early they were born.
This study uses a special ultrasound to see how sepsis, a severe infection, affects the heart's function in newborns. It compares newborns with sepsis to healthy newborns to understand the impact and help improve care.
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 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 study tests whether using ultrasound of the neck (carotid artery) and heart can help doctors know which children with septic shock need more fluids. It aims to make fluid treatment safer and more precise in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
