Study of a blood oxygen ratio in septic shock
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to measure oxygen levels in the blood of patients with septic shock. It may help doctors better understand how well the body is using oxygen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have septic shock (a severe infection causing low blood pressure that needs medicine to raise it, and high lactic acid levels in your blood).
- You have a central line (a large IV) placed in your neck or chest area, not in the groin.

This trial checks if measuring the carbon dioxide gap (a sign of how well blood is flowing to organs) can help doctors improve treatment for people in septic shock. Septic shock is a severe infection that causes very low blood pressure and organ damage.
This study looks at how the body uses energy (metabolism) in people with septic shock. It collects information from standard monitoring during a fluid challenge (a small IV fluid test) to find patterns that might help doctors better understand and treat septic shock.
This study observes how doctors treat septic shock in intensive care units. It aims to understand current practices and improve care for patients with severe infections and low blood pressure.
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 checks if a simple blood test (the ratio of urea to creatinine) can help doctors understand changes in your metabolism during septic shock. It compares this test to a more detailed measurement of how your body uses energy. This might help guide your treatment without extra invasive procedures.
This study looks at two ways to check blood flow and oxygen use in people with septic shock, a severe infection-related condition. It aims to see if a simple bedside test (fingertip refill) and a blood measure (oxygen extraction ratio) agree, which could help guide treatment.
