SHOCK

This early study tests whether a brief, low-intensity ultrasound applied to the neck can help raise blood pressure in adults with mild to moderate shock. About 30 participants will receive either ultrasound or a sham treatment alongside standard care. The goal is to see if this a…

This study looks at two ways of feeding critically ill patients who are recovering from shock in the ICU: feeding through a tube into the stomach (enteral nutrition) versus feeding through a vein (parenteral nutrition). About 1,150 adults will be randomly assigned to one method. …

This study looks at whether a computer model called iCVS can help doctors figure out the cause of shock in intensive care patients more quickly and accurately. The model uses only a patient's age, weight, and blood pressure readings to classify the type of shock. Researchers will…

This study looks at how well different veins in the body collapse when a person is in shock from severe injury. Doctors will use ultrasound to measure collapse in the femoral vein, internal jugular vein, and inferior vena cava before and after giving fluids. The goal is to find t…

This study will observe 1,200 adults admitted to hospital resuscitation rooms in France. Researchers want to see if patients who go directly to the resuscitation room are less likely to need intensive care within 24 hours compared to those who are admitted later from the emergenc…

This study watches how the right side of the heart works during fluid treatment in 100 critically ill adults. Doctors will use ultrasound to check heart function before and after giving fluids. The goal is to learn how to give fluids safely without causing fluid buildup or heart …

This study will check if a non-invasive device called EIT Pulse Wave can accurately measure blood flow to the lungs and heart function in critically ill patients with shock or lung injury. Nineteen adults in the ICU who are on breathing machines and already have a standard heart …

This study will enroll 80 adults in the emergency department who are in shock (very low blood pressure). Researchers will compare two methods to detect low blood volume: an ultrasound of a large vein in the belly versus a standard pressure monitor placed near the heart. The goal …

This study will test whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool, similar to ChatGPT-5, can help doctors make better decisions for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). About 1000 adults will be randomly assigned to either standard care or care where doctors …

This study watches 60 liver transplant patients in the ICU to understand why some have unstable blood flow. Researchers will measure heart function, blood pressure, and tissue oxygen levels to find patterns. The goal is to help doctors better treat these patients in the future.
