How blood flow affects recovery in ICU patients with sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how well blood flows to your skin and tissues during sepsis in the ICU. Doctors will check your circulation and see if it relates to how you recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You will need to be in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You must have been diagnosed with sepsis or septic shock (a severe infection that affects your whole body).
- You will need to have an arterial line and a central venous catheter in place for blood sampling.
- Your ICU stay is expected to last at least 24 hours.
- You must not be pregnant or have any care limits (like do-not-resuscitate orders).

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 study looks at a special blood flow monitor (perfusion index) to see if it can help doctors decide when to give blood pressure raising medicines in patients with serious infections. It might help doctors better treat sepsis and septic shock.
This trial tests a special way to monitor tiny blood vessels (microcirculation) in patients with sepsis. The goal is to see if early treatment based on these readings can help improve recovery.
This study looks at how the heart and blood vessels respond during a severe infection called sepsis. It may help doctors understand and treat this condition better.
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.
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.
