Checking blood flow to the gut during septic shock with ultrasound
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial uses a painless ultrasound to measure blood flow in the belly of adults with septic shock. It aims to see if this can help doctors give better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) with septic shock
- You do not have advanced liver disease, a blood clot in the liver vein, or severe heart failure on the right side
- You are not pregnant, not severely obese, and have no condition that makes ultrasound hard
- You do not have a do-not-resuscitate order or other major belly problems that would interfere

This study tests whether using ultrasound (heart imaging and blood-vessel scanning) helps doctors treat septic shock—a life-threatening blood infection—more effectively. The trial measures whether these imaging tools help guide fluid and medication decisions during resuscitation.
This study tests whether using ultrasound of the neck (carotid artery) and heart can help doctors know which children with septic shock need more fluids. It aims to make fluid treatment safer and more precise in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
This trial studies how blood flow and organ “perfusion” look in ICU patients who are struggling with infection and low blood pressure. It may help doctors better measure and manage shock by comparing hemodynamic readings during standard treatment.
This study gathers expert opinions from critical care doctors and specialists around the world who use bedside ultrasound (a portable imaging tool) to diagnose and categorize septic shock (a life-threatening infection condition). The goal is to develop standardized approaches to identifying different types of septic shock using ultrasound.
This study tests whether using ultrasound to guide blood draws for infection tests works better in critically ill patients with suspected sepsis. It could help find infections faster and more safely.
This trial tests if using focused ultrasound to stimulate the spleen can reduce inflammation in septic shock. It may help patients in the ICU who need strong blood pressure support.
