Blood flow and outcomes in ICU patients with sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You have been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have sepsis or septic shock (a severe infection that affects your whole body).
- You have an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) and a central venous catheter (a tube in a large vein) for blood draws.
- Your doctor expects you to stay in the ICU for at least 24 hours.
- You are not pregnant.

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 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 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 study looks at how sepsis affects your heart and blood vessels. You may be eligible if you have a serious infection that is not responding to fluids and you need medicine to keep your blood pressure up.
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.
