Understanding fluid response in severe infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body responds to extra fluids in patients with severe infections (septic shock) who are on a breathing machine. It may help doctors better manage fluid treatment in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a severe infection causing low blood pressure requiring medication.
- You are on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation).
- You have plastic tubes (catheters) in a large neck vein and artery.
- A special test with leg lifting shows your blood flow improves with fluids.
- You are 18 years or older and in a social security system.

This study looks at how well blood flows through your body's tissues and whether extra fluids help. It aims to see if measuring certain markers can help doctors better manage fluids in septic shock patients.
This study is for adults in the intensive care unit with septic shock (a severe infection that drops blood pressure). It looks at how well your body holds fluid and whether treatment can be safely reduced.
This study looks at how the body uses energy (metabolism) in people with septic shock. It collects information from standard monitoring during a fluid challenge (a small IV fluid test) to find patterns that might help doctors better understand and treat septic shock.
This trial tests whether using specific safety signals can prevent harm from too much fluid given during septic shock. It may help guide doctors to stop fluids at the right time.
This study observes how doctors treat septic shock in intensive care units. It aims to understand current practices and improve care for patients with severe infections and low blood pressure.
This study tests a computer software that helps doctors decide how much fluid to give patients in septic shock. It aims to improve blood pressure and oxygen delivery without causing fluid overload.
