NCT ID NCT07239713
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two common IV fluids—Ringer's Lactate and Sterofundin/Plasmalyte—in adults with sepsis after abdominal surgery. Researchers will measure how well each fluid helps clear lactate from the blood and supports kidney function. The goal is to find which fluid leads to better recovery in the ICU.
