Fluid management in sepsis patients at the emergency department
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized approach to giving fluids to patients with sepsis, a serious infection that can cause low blood pressure. The goal is to see if individualized fluid resuscitation improves outcomes compared to standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a confirmed or suspected infection with signs like fever or high inflammation markers.
- You need fluids for low blood pressure or high lactate within the first hour of arriving at the emergency room.
- You are seen by a doctor in one of the listed specialties (like internal medicine, nephrology, oncology, etc.) or emergency medicine (non-trauma).
- You do not have certain other serious conditions (like heart failure, kidney failure on dialysis, liver cirrhosis with complications, or active bleeding).
- You have not already received more than 1 liter of IV fluids before the study starts.

This trial tests a personalized approach to giving IV fluids to patients with sepsis in the emergency department. It uses a device to monitor your heart and blood flow to help doctors decide how much fluid you need, which may improve recovery.
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 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 study tests if using a finger sensor to guide fluid therapy can prevent skin failure in older ICU patients with sepsis or shock. It compares usual care to personalized fluid management.
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 is testing a new way of measuring how much fluid leaks from your blood vessels during severe infection (septic shock). The goal is to help doctors decide how much fluid to give, which may improve recovery and prevent complications.
