Faster sepsis care in the emergency room and ICU
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study aims to improve how quickly patients with sepsis (a life-threatening reaction to infection) receive the right treatment in the hospital. By following a specific checklist, they hope to reduce harm and improve outcomes for patients with this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have signs of sepsis or a doctor has told you that you have sepsis when you arrive in the emergency room or ICU.
- You must have symptoms that match the hospital's sepsis treatment plan during the study period.
- If you have already started sepsis treatment at another hospital, you cannot join.
- You cannot join if you have a do-not-resuscitate order or are receiving end-of-life care that would leave incomplete data.

This trial looks at how to best put proven sepsis care steps into practice in the emergency department. It may help you or other patients receive faster, more consistent treatment for sepsis.
This study looks at whether automatically flagging a sepsis risk score in the electronic health record and having a care team respond with structured steps helps treat sepsis earlier. If you qualify, everything is done through your usual care — you won't have extra visits or be contacted by the research team.
This study looks at how to better recognize and manage sepsis (a serious body-wide reaction to infection) and tailor care to the individual. You may be eligible if you are newly admitted to the emergency department and your care is handled by a rapid response team for sepsis.
This trial studies how well a simple check (the 'modified shock index') can predict the outlook for patients with sepsis in the emergency department. The goal is to help doctors identify who might be at higher risk so they can provide faster, more targeted care.
This study collects information from patients with sepsis (a serious infection that affects the whole body) who come to the emergency department. The goal is to better understand and improve care for people with this condition.
This study tracks how doctors treat septic shock in the ICU to learn what works best. If you have septic shock, joining this study helps researchers understand which treatments are most effective, and you'll get the same care you would anyway.
