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.
Who can take part
- 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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new way of giving fluids and medicines to people with septic shock. It focuses on a simple sign called capillary refill time (how fast color returns when you press a fingernail) to guide treatment, aiming to improve recovery.
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 study uses a special ultrasound (Doppler) to check blood flow to your organs during septic shock. It helps doctors see if your body is getting enough blood and oxygen, which may guide better treatment.
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 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 trial is studying whether a measure of oxygen in your blood (called SvO2) can help doctors decide if giving you more fluids will help improve your blood pressure during septic shock. The goal is to make fluid treatment more precise and avoid giving too much fluid.
