Blood phosphate and breathing machine time in sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the level of phosphate in your blood is linked to how long you need a breathing machine (ventilator) while in the intensive care unit (ICU) for sepsis. It may help doctors understand how to better manage your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have sepsis or septic shock (a severe infection that affects your whole body).
- You are over 18 years old.
- You need medication to keep your blood pressure up and have high lactic acid in your blood.
- You have been in the ICU for at least 24 hours.
- You do not have kidney failure requiring dialysis, parathyroid problems, or metabolic bone disease.
- You are not taking phosphate supplements or certain medicines that affect phosphate levels.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a special blood flow monitor (perfusion index) to see if it can help doctors decide when to give blood pressure raising medicines in patients with serious infections. It might help doctors better treat sepsis and septic shock.
This trial looks at patterns in certain immune cells (neutrophils) in people with sepsis in the ICU, including those who have a breathing tube. It may help doctors better understand how the immune system changes during sepsis and could guide future care.
This trial tests a special fluid used during continuous kidney-cleaning treatment (CRRT) that contains phosphate. The study examines whether this formulation helps patients whose kidneys have stopped working and need ongoing blood filtration.
This study looks at whether platelet transfusions help patients with sepsis and very low platelet counts recover better. If you or your loved one had sepsis, a low platelet count, and were in the ICU for at least two days, this trial may be relevant.
This study checks if a simple blood flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
This trial tests if a specific form of vitamin D can improve recovery for patients with severe infections (sepsis) in the intensive care unit. The vitamin D may help control inflammation and support the immune system.
