Blood test to guide fluids during septic shock
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a simple blood test to measure how your blood vessels leak fluid during septic shock. The results may help doctors give the right amount of fluids to keep you stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) within the last 24 hours
- Diagnosed with septic shock (a severe infection causing low blood pressure)
- Blood samples can be taken during the day
- No severe fluid build-up in the body from conditions like cirrhosis or heart failure
- Not on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO)
- No active bleeding or recent blood transfusion

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 looks at how sepsis (a severe infection) affects the immune system. The goal is to see if certain blood markers can help doctors predict recovery, which could improve the care of future patients with septic shock.
This study is testing a blood test that may help doctors diagnose sepsis faster. It involves people with sepsis and healthy volunteers to compare results.
This study looks at how the body responds to extra fluids in patients with severe infections (sepsis) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to understand how fluids affect blood flow and congestion to improve treatment.
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 is studying whether a measure of oxygen in your blood (called SvO2) can help doctors decide if giving you more fluids will help improve your blood pressure during septic shock. The goal is to make fluid treatment more precise and avoid giving too much fluid.
