Heart-Lung link may predict sepsis survival
NCT ID NCT06887140
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple ultrasound measurement of how well the right side of the heart works with the lungs can predict which sepsis patients are at higher risk of dying in the hospital. Researchers will follow 215 adults with sepsis in the ICU, measuring this heart-lung coupling and tracking outcomes like death, time on a breathing machine, and length of hospital stay. No new treatments are tested—the goal is to learn if this measurement can help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier.
