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.

This study compares three different methods used by doctors to check if giving fluids through an IV helps improve blood pressure in people with sudden circulatory failure. It helps doctors find the quickest and most accurate way to guide treatment.
This study looks at how well blood flows to your skin and tissues during sepsis in the ICU. Doctors will check your circulation and see if it relates to how you recover.
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 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 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.
This study looks at how the heart and blood vessels respond during a severe infection called sepsis. It may help doctors understand and treat this condition better.
