Predicting fluid needs in shock using tissue pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a method called tissue perfusion pressure to see if it can accurately predict whether a patient in shock will benefit from getting more fluids. It aims to help doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have been diagnosed with shock, meaning your body isn't getting enough blood flow to vital organs.
- Your doctor has decided that you need fluids given through a vein (fluid resuscitation).
- You have a special blood pressure monitor placed inside an artery (invasive monitoring).

This trial studies different ways to measure how much extra fluid your body can handle when you are in shock. The goal is to see which method works best and helps doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment.
This study checks whether a specific heart ultrasound measurement can help doctors decide if you will benefit from extra fluid during early emergency treatment for shock. It may help avoid unnecessary fluids and support faster, safer decision-making.
This study looks at how a standard IV fluid bolus affects blood flow and heart function in ICU patients. It aims to better understand the body's response to this common treatment.
This study watches how the right side of your heart responds when doctors give you extra fluids to improve blood flow during a critical illness. Understanding this response may help doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment in the ICU.
This study compares individualized blood pressure goals versus the usual (standard) targets for adults in the ICU with shock. The aim is to see whether tailored blood pressure treatment can improve outcomes by better matching each person’s needs.
This trial compares using ultrasound of the large belly vein (IVC) versus a standard pressure measurement to see if you need more fluids when in shock. It aims to find a quicker, safer way to guide treatment in the emergency room.
