Can ultrasound help doctors give the right amount of fluids in septic shock?
NCT ID NCT06043505
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a specific ultrasound-based algorithm could help doctors better manage fluids in patients with septic shock. The trial involved 136 intensive care patients and compared the algorithm to standard care over the first 4 days. The goal was to see if the algorithm could reduce the risks of giving too much or too little fluid.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Ultrasound Hemodynamic Algorithm (UHA)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a standardized, non-invasive way to guide fluid therapy in septic shock, potentially reducing complications from fluid overload or depletion.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (136 patients) that is already completed, so results may not be definitive or widely applicable. The algorithm may not improve outcomes compared to standard care.
