Ultrasound test to predict fluid needs in sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study uses an ultrasound to measure how much the axillary vein collapses when you breathe, to help doctors decide if you need more fluids. It is for patients with sepsis who are breathing on their own and have signs of low blood flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have sepsis with at least two signs of infection-related inflammation, like fever or fast heart rate
- You are breathing on your own, not on a breathing machine
- You have signs of poor blood flow, such as low blood pressure or cold hands and feet

This study compares two monitoring methods to help doctors give the right amount of fluids to children with septic shock. It aims to avoid giving too much or too little fluid, which can affect recovery.
This study tests whether ICU nurses can use a special ultrasound technique (called VExUS) to check for blood flow problems in patients with sepsis. It aims to help detect and treat these issues earlier, potentially improving outcomes.
This study measures fluid levels outside your cells to better understand and manage sepsis. It may help doctors give the right amount of fluids during treatment.
This study tests a simple blood test to measure how your blood vessels leak fluid during septic shock. The results may help doctors give the right amount of fluids to keep you stable.
This study tests whether using ultrasound of the neck (carotid artery) and heart can help doctors know which children with septic shock need more fluids. It aims to make fluid treatment safer and more precise in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
This trial compares two ways to check if a patient with septic shock needs more IV fluids. It uses either a special measurement from a central line or an ultrasound of a large vein in the belly. The goal is to make sure you get just the right amount of fluid to help your blood pressure without overloading your heart.
