Ultrasound-guided sepsis care for patients with cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a special ultrasound of the heart can guide treatment for sepsis-related low blood pressure in patients with cirrhosis. It aims to improve care and outcomes for critically ill patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are critically ill with cirrhosis and have sepsis causing low blood pressure
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You are not already on medications to raise blood pressure
- You do not have serious heart or lung disease, active bleeding, or certain other conditions

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 trial uses a painless ultrasound to measure blood flow in the belly of adults with septic shock. It aims to see if this can help doctors give better care.
This trial tests if using focused ultrasound to stimulate the spleen can reduce inflammation in septic shock. It may help patients in the ICU who need strong blood pressure support.
This study tests if a simple bedside heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) and blood tests can spot early heart problems in people with severe liver disease (cirrhosis) who are in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors better understand and manage heart complications in cirrhosis.
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound technique (VEXUS) can guide personalized fluid treatment for patients with septic shock. It aims to help doctors give the right amount of fluids to improve recovery.
This study compares two methods to measure fluid responsiveness in patients with sepsis and hypotension: cardiometry (non-invasive heart monitoring) and ultrasound of the IVC vein. The goal is to find a simpler way to guide treatment.
