First seen Apr 18, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study looks at whether measuring how much the axillary vein in the armpit collapses with breathing can predict which sepsis patients need more fluids. Researchers will enroll 40 spontaneously breathing adults with sepsis and signs of circulatory failure. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to guide fluid therapy and avoid fluid overload.
