Using a new monitor to guide blood pressure meds in sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) with a serious infection (sepsis) or severe version called septic shock.
- You have signs like fever, low blood pressure, confusion, or low urine output, and an infection confirmed by lab culture.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special way to monitor tiny blood vessels (microcirculation) in patients with sepsis. The goal is to see if early treatment based on these readings can help improve recovery.
This study looks at how well blood flows to the skin of patients with sepsis in the ICU. It aims to see if this can help predict recovery and guide care.
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 looks at how sepsis affects your heart and blood vessels. You may be eligible if you have a serious infection that is not responding to fluids and you need medicine to keep your blood pressure up.
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 an investigational fluid called VBI-S to see if it can help raise blood pressure in people with septic shock who are not responding to standard fluids. You may qualify if you have severe infection and low blood pressure that needs medication support.
