Armpit ultrasound may guide sepsis fluid treatment
NCT ID NCT07507877
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether measuring how much a vein near the armpit collapses with breathing can predict if a sepsis patient needs more fluids. It involves 40 spontaneously breathing adults with sepsis and signs of poor circulation. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to guide fluid therapy and avoid giving too much fluid.
