Ultrasound to check organ blood flow in septic shock
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound (Doppler) to check blood flow to your organs during septic shock. It helps doctors see if your body is getting enough blood and oxygen, which may guide better treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in the ICU with septic shock (a severe infection causing very low blood pressure)
- You do not have advanced chronic liver disease
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have a major bowel problem like a blockage or serious bleeding

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 trial compares the use of a simple ultrasound test of the lungs and heart to help doctors decide how much fluid to give adults with septic shock. The goal is to find the most accurate way to guide treatment, which could lead to better recovery.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much blood the heart pumps in patients with septic shock, a severe infection that causes dangerously low blood pressure. It may help doctors better understand and manage this condition.
This trial tests a new way to see if giving more fluids helps patients with septic shock, a severe infection that drops blood pressure. It uses a quick heart ultrasound to check if fluids will improve blood flow, aiming to guide better treatment.
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 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).
