Heart and blood vessel patterns in sepsis patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a suspected serious infection (sepsis) based on tests.
- Your blood pressure is low even after receiving fluids, and you need medication to raise it.
- You were admitted to a special hospital unit within the last 72 hours.
- You do not have severe artery disease or certain injuries to your arms or hands.

This study looks at how well the heart works with the blood vessels in people with sepsis or septic shock. It uses special ultrasound tests to measure heart function and may help find new ways to guide treatment.
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.
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 uses heart ultrasound (echocardiography) to help doctors decide how much fluid to give patients with sepsis, a serious blood infection. The goal is to improve how well the heart pumps and help patients recover better.
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 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.
