Oxygen use after stabilizing shock
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment to improve oxygen use in patients with shock. It measures how much oxygen the body uses after doctors optimize blood pressure and fluids, which may help tissues get the oxygen they need.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have low blood pressure (less than 65 mmHg) or a sudden drop in blood pressure of at least 15 points.
- You must also have one of these: a fast heart rate (over 120 beats per minute), low urine output for at least two hours, or high blood lactate level.
- You cannot need urgent surgery or life support like ECMO.
- You cannot have severe lung failure or severe heart failure (ejection fraction less than 25%).
- You cannot be on dialysis or have severe anemia (hemoglobin below 8).
- You cannot be pregnant, have a terminal illness, or have a do-not-resuscitate order.

This study tests a more guided oxygen plan during long major abdominal operations to help manage how much oxygen your body uses. It compares the new oxygen approach to the current standard method during surgery.
This trial studies how blood flow and organ “perfusion” look in ICU patients who are struggling with infection and low blood pressure. It may help doctors better measure and manage shock by comparing hemodynamic readings during standard treatment.
This study tests whether adjusting the blood flow rate of an ECMO machine (which helps your heart pump) can improve blood flow to your organs and reduce stress on your heart during the critical early phase of cardiogenic shock. It aims to find the best ECMO settings to help you recover.
This trial tests if giving extra oxygen to the blood during a heart attack can help heart muscle recover. It is for people having a specific type of heart attack and balloon treatment.
This study tests a non-invasive, goal-based treatment approach for people with septic shock—an emergency condition caused by severe infection. It may help by using blood-pressure and circulation targets to guide care without more invasive procedures.
This study is testing if measuring oxygen levels in urine can help predict when kidney injury starts or gets better in ICU patients with shock. It aims to guide treatment earlier and avoid kidney damage.
