Using PIVO for blood cultures in the ER
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a device called PIVO that may make it easier and less painful to draw blood for blood cultures in the emergency room. It's for anyone in the ER who needs this test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child are in the emergency room.
- A doctor has ordered a blood culture test (a test to check for infection in the blood).

This study tests whether using ultrasound to guide blood draws for infection tests works better in critically ill patients with suspected sepsis. It could help find infections faster and more safely.
This trial tests a medical device (NucleoCapture) that may remove substances called circulating DNA and NETs from the blood in people with sepsis and breathing failure. The goal is to check safety and see whether it can improve blood markers and possibly outcomes.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) combined with a standard pressure measurement (CVP) can better predict outcomes for people with sepsis in the ICU. The goal is to see if these tools help doctors make better treatment decisions.
This study tests a quick DNA-based test to find bloodstream infections in ICU patients. If you are getting standard blood cultures for a suspected infection, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether using a blood test called 'PCT' can help doctors decide when to start or stop antibiotics in critically ill adult patients in the EICU. The goal is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use while still effectively treating bacterial infections.
This trial is testing a new method (IDBIORIV) to quickly identify the germs causing sepsis and find the right antibiotic. It aims to help patients with a confirmed bloodstream infection get the most effective treatment faster.
