Heart-lung function test in sepsis patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study uses an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to check how well the right side of your heart is working with your lungs during sepsis. The goal is to see if this measurement can help doctors predict how patients will recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with sepsis (a serious infection that affects your whole body).
- You are being treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the University Medical Center in Ho Chi Minh City.
- You are not pregnant.
- You have never had a heart attack in the right side of your heart.
- You have not had a heart attack or unstable angina in the past week.
- You do not have severe heart valve disease, a replaced heart valve, a congenital heart defect, or a hole between the chambers of your heart.

This study looks at how checking heart function with an ultrasound during early sepsis treatment can help guide fluid and medication decisions. It may lead to better recovery by tailoring treatment to each patient's heart.
This study looks at how a measurement from a bedside heart ultrasound changes while treating people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand how to monitor response to treatment using a quick ultrasound test.
This study looks at how well the heart and blood vessels work together in people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand heart function better during serious infections, which could lead to improved care.
This study looks at how sepsis and other infections affect survival in hospitalized heart patients. It is designed for people who are being treated for a heart condition and either have no infection or have a specific type of infection or heart inflammation.
This study looks at how the heart and lungs interact in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (a severe lung condition) who are on a breathing machine. Researchers will use ultrasound to check heart function at different times during treatment.
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work together during exercise. It involves an exercise test with an ultrasound of your heart (echocardiogram) to measure blood flow. This may help doctors better understand and diagnose conditions like pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs).
