Shenfu injection to prevent heart problems in sepsis
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether Shenfu injection can help prevent heart muscle damage in people with septic shock. If you have septic shock, you may be able to join this study to see if this treatment helps protect your heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have septic shock (a severe infection causing very low blood pressure).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not allergic to ginseng or aconite (ingredients in Shenfu injection).
- You have not had serious heart problems or heart surgery in the last 3 months.
- You are expected to live more than 48 hours.
- You have received Shenfu injection for at least 48 hours.
- You do not have certain severe illnesses like advanced cancer, HIV, or active bleeding.

This study tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine injection (Shenfu) can improve blood flow and organ function in patients with septic shock—a life-threatening infection where the body's blood pressure drops dangerously low despite fluids. Researchers want to see if this treatment helps the heart pump blood more effectively to vital organs.
This trial tests whether Shenfu injection can improve the flexibility of blood vessels in people with severe infections (sepsis or septic shock). It may help understand how to better support the heart and circulation during critical illness.
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 trial tests whether a blood filtering treatment called hemoadsorption can help protect blood vessels in people with septic shock. It may be an option for patients who are already on strong blood pressure medications and steroids.
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.
This trial tests a new mathematical model to better diagnose and treat heart problems caused by sepsis. It includes adults with sepsis or septic shock who need strong blood pressure support.
