Fluid effects on circulation in septic shock patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how well blood flows through your body's tissues and whether extra fluids help. It aims to see if measuring certain markers can help doctors better manage fluids in septic shock patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in septic shock (severe infection causing dangerously low blood pressure).
- You are on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation).
- You have both a central line (a special IV in a large vein) and an arterial line (a blood-pressure tube) in place.
- Your heart pumped more blood when you were given IV fluids (called a "fluid response").
- Age 18 or older, not pregnant, and able to give consent.

This study looks at how the body responds to extra fluids in patients with severe infections (septic shock) who are on a breathing machine. It may help doctors better manage fluid treatment in the ICU.
This study tests whether using ultrasound of the neck (carotid artery) and heart can help doctors know which children with septic shock need more fluids. It aims to make fluid treatment safer and more precise in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
This study tests whether using ultrasound (heart imaging and blood-vessel scanning) helps doctors treat septic shock—a life-threatening blood infection—more effectively. The trial measures whether these imaging tools help guide fluid and medication decisions during resuscitation.
This study is for adults in the intensive care unit with septic shock (a severe infection that drops blood pressure). It looks at how well your body holds fluid and whether treatment can be safely reduced.
This trial tests whether using specific safety signals can prevent harm from too much fluid given during septic shock. It may help guide doctors to stop fluids at the right time.
This study tests a computer software that helps doctors decide how much fluid to give patients in septic shock. It aims to improve blood pressure and oxygen delivery without causing fluid overload.
