Guiding postpartum septic shock treatment with heart ultrasound
Part of Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using heart ultrasound to guide treatment leads to better outcomes than standard care in women with septic shock shortly after giving birth. It may help doctors choose the right treatments faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who gave birth within the last 6 weeks
- You have septic shock, meaning very low blood pressure that doesn't improve with fluids and requires medicine to raise it
- You do not have a pre-existing heart condition or a heart-related cause of shock
- You do not need emergency surgery right now
- You are not on a do-not-resuscitate order

This trial checks heart function, specifically blood flow and oxygen delivery, in patients with septic shock. It can help doctors better understand how the heart is working during this severe infection.
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 a measurement from a bedside heart ultrasound changes while treating people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand how to monitor response to treatment using a quick ultrasound test.
This study uses heart ultrasound (echocardiography) to help doctors decide how much fluid to give patients with sepsis, a serious blood infection. The goal is to improve how well the heart pumps and help patients recover better.
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).
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.
