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 tests two simple bedside methods (using ultrasound or a vein pressure reading) to see which better predicts whether a child with septic shock will respond to extra fluids. The goal is to guide treatment more safely for children with infection-related shock.
This trial tests whether specially trained ICU nurses can use ultrasound (VExUS) to check for blood flow backup in the veins of patients with sepsis. It aims to improve early detection of fluid overload in the ICU.
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 is testing a new way of measuring how much fluid leaks from your blood vessels during severe infection (septic shock). The goal is to help doctors decide how much fluid to give, which may improve recovery and prevent complications.
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 whether using ultrasound to guide blood draws for infection tests works better in critically ill patients with suspected sepsis. It could help find infections faster and more safely.
