Which fluid gauge saves more lives? new trial compares heart monitor vs. vein scan in sepsis

NCT ID NCT07411469

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at 60 people with septic shock, a severe infection that causes dangerously low blood pressure. Doctors need to give fluids carefully, but too much can be harmful. The trial compares two methods—a heart monitor (cardiometry) and an ultrasound of a large vein (IVC collapsibility)—to see which better predicts who needs more fluids. The goal is to help doctors make safer, more personalized treatment decisions.
