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 well the heart works with the blood vessels in people with sepsis or septic shock. It uses special ultrasound tests to measure heart function and may help find new ways to guide treatment.
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 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 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 trial checks heart function, specifically blood flow and oxygen delivery, in patients with septic shock. It can help doctors better understand how the heart is working during this severe infection.
