Study on how septic shock is managed in ICUs
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study observes how doctors treat septic shock in intensive care units. It aims to understand current practices and improve care for patients with severe infections and low blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have septic shock, meaning a serious infection with low blood pressure that needs medicine to raise it, and high lactate levels in your blood.
- You or your family must agree to take part.
- You cannot already be in the ICU when the study starts, unless you were in this study before.

This trial looks at how the immune system changes after septic shock in adults in the ICU. It may help doctors better predict or manage complications by studying blood markers a few days after starting treatment.
This study is for adults in the intensive care unit with septic shock (a severe infection that drops blood pressure). It looks at how well your body holds fluid and whether treatment can be safely reduced.
This trial checks if measuring the carbon dioxide gap (a sign of how well blood is flowing to organs) can help doctors improve treatment for people in septic shock. Septic shock is a severe infection that causes very low blood pressure and organ damage.
This study tests if giving fewer fluids (other than the fluids to keep blood pressure up) can help people recover from septic shock. It compares a reduced fluid strategy to the usual care in the ICU.
This study tests a new, timely approach to managing sepsis (a severe infection that can harm the body). It aims to improve care in the Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit, which could help patients recover faster.
This study looks at how the body responds to extra fluids in patients with severe infections (septic shock) who are on a breathing machine. It may help doctors better manage fluid treatment in the ICU.
