Heart and blood vessel patterns in severe infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a suspected severe infection (sepsis).
- Your blood pressure is low despite receiving fluids.
- You need medication to support your blood pressure.
- You are admitted to a special care unit within 72 hours of arrival.

This study looks at how well the heart and blood vessels work together in people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand heart function better during serious infections, which could lead to improved care.
This study looks at how checking heart function with an ultrasound during early sepsis treatment can help guide fluid and medication decisions. It may lead to better recovery by tailoring treatment to each patient's heart.
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 and other infections affect survival in hospitalized heart patients. It is designed for people who are being treated for a heart condition and either have no infection or have a specific type of infection or heart inflammation.
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.
