Heart function check in newborns with sepsis
Part of Genetic & congenital, Infections clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound to see how sepsis, a severe infection, affects the heart's function in newborns. It compares newborns with sepsis to healthy newborns to understand the impact and help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is a newborn (preterm or full-term) diagnosed with sepsis, confirmed by blood tests.
- Your baby may be on a breathing machine or have septic shock.
- Your baby does not have other major health conditions like birth defects, genetic disorders, congenital heart disease, or complications from maternal diabetes.
- Your baby does not have hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (brain injury from lack of oxygen).

This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection) can harm the heart in critically ill children. The goal is to better understand and manage this heart injury to improve outcomes.
This study tests how using a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) can help doctors better manage care for very sick newborns in the NICU. It may help guide treatment for babies who are unstable, regardless of their weight or how early they were born.
This study looks at how checking heart function with an ultrasound during early sepsis treatment can help guide fluid and medication decisions. It may lead to better recovery by tailoring treatment to each patient's heart.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how well a newborn's heart is working. It aims to compare heart function in healthy babies, premature babies, and babies with certain health conditions to improve care.
This study looks at how sepsis (a serious infection in the blood) affects the brain and nervous system in newborns. Doctors will check babies for signs of brain or nerve problems to better understand and care for them.
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.
