Finger sensor guided fluids for skin health in older ICU patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older.
- You have sepsis or another type of shock that needs large amounts of fluids quickly.
- You are expected to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 3 days.
- You do not have a serious skin condition or blood vessel disease that could interfere with the study measurements.
- You do not have a condition that makes it unsafe to receive extra fluids, such as severe heart failure.

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.
This study looks at how well blood flows to the skin of patients with sepsis in the ICU. It aims to see if this can help predict recovery and guide care.
This study tests a computer software that helps doctors decide how much fluid to give patients in septic shock. It aims to improve blood pressure and oxygen delivery without causing fluid overload.
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 flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids and blood pressure medicines in patients with septic shock. It aims to find if using a specific blood flow measurement (capillary refill time) can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
