Heart imaging to guide fluid treatment in sepsis patients
Part of Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your doctor suspects you have sepsis (a serious infection affecting your whole body)
- You have signs of sepsis-related low blood pressure or poor circulation, such as high lactate levels in your blood, very low blood pressure, or need for heart-support medications
- You have already started taking IV antibiotics (medicine given through a vein to fight infection)
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have another severe illness expected to limit your life to less than 30 days

This study looks at how a measurement from a bedside heart ultrasound changes while treating people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand how to monitor response to treatment using a quick ultrasound test.
This study looks at how well the heart works with the blood vessels in people with sepsis or septic shock. It uses special ultrasound tests to measure heart function and may help find new ways to guide treatment.
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 personalized approach to giving fluids to patients with sepsis, a serious infection that can cause low blood pressure. The goal is to see if individualized fluid resuscitation improves outcomes compared to standard care.
This study looks at a special blood flow monitor (perfusion index) to see if it can help doctors decide when to give blood pressure raising medicines in patients with serious infections. It might help doctors better treat sepsis and septic shock.
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.
