New heart monitor tested in septic shock patients

NCT ID NCT07628023

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will test whether a new, continuous method of measuring heart function (using pressure waves) matches the current standard method (thermodilution) in 43 ICU patients with septic shock. Both methods use the same catheter already placed for treatment. The goal is to see if the continuous method can reliably track changes in heart output, which could help doctors respond faster.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that the continuous method is reliable, potentially allowing faster and easier monitoring of heart function in critically ill patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (43 participants) that only compares measurement methods, not a treatment. The new method may not match the standard well in all situations.
