A new test to guide fluid therapy for sepsis patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way of measuring how much fluid leaks from your blood vessels during severe infection (septic shock). The goal is to help doctors decide how much fluid to give, which may improve recovery and prevent complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) within the last 24 hours.
- You must be diagnosed with septic shock (a severe infection causing low blood pressure).
- Your blood can be drawn during daytime hours (8am-5pm).
- You do not have certain conditions like heart failure, liver disease, kidney failure, or active bleeding.
- You are not on ECMO (a machine that helps your heart and lungs) or receiving dialysis (kidney replacement therapy).
- You have not had a blood transfusion within the past hour or a change in blood pressure medication within the past 30 minutes.

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 measures fluid levels outside your cells to better understand and manage sepsis. It may help doctors give the right amount of fluids during treatment.
This study uses heart ultrasound (echocardiography) to help doctors decide how much fluid to give patients with sepsis, a serious blood infection. The goal is to improve how well the heart pumps and help patients recover better.
This study tests an investigational fluid called VBI-S to see if it can help raise blood pressure in people with septic shock who are not responding to standard fluids. You may qualify if you have severe infection and low blood pressure that needs medication support.
This study tests a personalized approach to giving fluids to patients with sepsis, a serious infection that can cause low blood pressure. The goal is to see if individualized fluid resuscitation improves outcomes compared to standard care.
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids and blood pressure medicines in patients with septic shock. It aims to find if using a specific blood flow measurement (capillary refill time) can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
