Atrial strain study in septic shock patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the upper chambers of the heart (atria) work during septic shock using a special heart ultrasound. It may help doctors understand how the heart is affected by severe infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are in the intensive care unit for septic shock (a severe infection causing very low blood pressure)
- You have had a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) as part of your regular care
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have moderate or severe heart valve problems
- Your heart rate was not above 140 beats per minute during the ultrasound

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 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 looks at how well the heart and blood vessels are working in people with septic shock. It helps doctors decide the best way to reduce blood pressure medication safely.
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 tracks how doctors treat septic shock in the ICU to learn what works best. If you have septic shock, joining this study helps researchers understand which treatments are most effective, and you'll get the same care you would anyway.
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.
