Blood Flow Measurement Comparison in Critically Ill Patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two quick methods for checking blood flow and oxygen delivery in very sick patients in the ICU. It helps doctors understand which measurement works better to spot patients who need urgent help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You were admitted to the ICU in the last 24 hours, or you became unstable (needed blood pressure support or fluids) within the last 24 hours
- You have not objected to being in the study
- Your fingers and skin are normal enough to measure blood flow properly
- You have valid health insurance coverage
- You are not under legal guardianship or court protection

This trial tests and compares three methods used to measure circulation and blood flow during acute shock (a dangerous drop in blood pressure). It may help doctors choose the most reliable tool to guide treatment in urgent care or intensive care settings.
This study tests a new way to check blood flow in the tiny blood vessels of the skin for people in the ICU with circulatory failure from sepsis or heart failure. It helps doctors understand how well blood is reaching tissues, which may guide treatment.
This trial studies how blood flow and organ “perfusion” look in ICU patients who are struggling with infection and low blood pressure. It may help doctors better measure and manage shock by comparing hemodynamic readings during standard treatment.
This study checks if a simple blood flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
This study looks at how well the heart and blood vessels are working in children with shock in the pediatric intensive care unit. The goal is to find better ways to monitor and treat them.
This study compares two ways of measuring how well your heart is pumping blood while you're in the intensive care unit. Both methods use a special tube (Swan-Ganz catheter) that your doctors have already placed as part of your care, so the study doesn't add new procedures.
