Heart Function Changes in Newborns With Serious Infections
Part of Genetic & congenital, Infections clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how a newborn's heart pumps during serious blood infections (sepsis). Researchers want to understand how sepsis affects heart function in babies, which may help doctors treat newborns better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is a newborn (preterm or full-term)
- Your baby has confirmed sepsis (serious infection) shown by blood tests, inflammation markers, or blood cultures
- Your baby may be on a breathing machine or receiving breathing support
- Your baby does not have other serious conditions like heart defects, genetic disorders, or brain injury from lack of oxygen
- Your baby was not born to a mother with diabetes

This study looks at heart injury in children with sepsis. It aims to understand how the infection affects the heart so doctors can better manage it.
This study is testing a new blood test (called presepsin) to see if it can help doctors quickly diagnose sepsis (a serious infection) in newborns. If your baby has signs of infection, this test might help find the cause sooner.
This trial checks heart function, specifically blood flow and oxygen delivery, in patients with septic shock. It can help doctors better understand how the heart is working during this severe infection.
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 sepsis and other infections affect survival in hospitalized heart patients. It is designed for people who are being treated for a heart condition and either have no infection or have a specific type of infection or heart inflammation.
This study looks at how blood markers like lactate and complete blood count (CBC) can help spot infection in newborns up to 28 days old. It may lead to faster, more accurate diagnosis for babies with possible sepsis.
