Measuring blood flow waves in sepsis patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections clinical trials.
This study uses a special light sensor to measure blood flow waves in patients with septic shock. The goal is to see if these waves can help doctors understand how severe the shock is.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have septic shock as defined by doctors.
- You must have a body temperature above 36°C (taken under the arm).
- You must be able to lie flat on your back for the test.
- You must agree to participate and sign a consent form.

This trial tests and compares three methods used to measure circulation and blood flow during acute shock (a dangerous drop in blood pressure). It may help doctors choose the most reliable tool to guide treatment in urgent care or intensive care settings.
This study checks if a simple blood flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
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.
This trial studies how blood flow and organ “perfusion” look in ICU patients who are struggling with infection and low blood pressure. It may help doctors better measure and manage shock by comparing hemodynamic readings during standard treatment.
This study looks at a special blood flow monitor (perfusion index) to see if it can help doctors decide when to give blood pressure raising medicines in patients with serious infections. It might help doctors better treat sepsis and septic shock.
This study compares two methods to measure fluid responsiveness in patients with sepsis and hypotension: cardiometry (non-invasive heart monitoring) and ultrasound of the IVC vein. The goal is to find a simpler way to guide treatment.
