NCT ID NCT07453901
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will observe the real-world treatment of 5,000 adults with septic shock in intensive care units across many countries. Researchers want to see how closely doctors follow official guidelines and what factors influence their choices. The goal is to identify gaps in care and improve survival for this life-threatening condition.
