Precision Resuscitation With Crystalloids in Sepsis

Testing crystalloid fluids for effective sepsis treatment.

Phase N/A

In this study, scientists want to find out which kind of fluids are best for treating sepsis, a serious infection. Sepsis patients often get fluids called "crystalloids." These can be **normal saline** (saltwater) or **balanced crystalloids** (like Lactated Ringer or Plasma-Lyte). Doctors at Emory hospitals will use a special computer program to help decide if a patient should get balanced crystalloids instead of normal saline. If a patient is in the **intervention group**, doctors will get a reminder to use balanced crystalloids because it might help the patient more.

  • The study is only for adults in the emergency department at Emory hospitals.
  • Doctors will receive alerts to use certain fluids, potentially improving patient outcomes.
  • No extra visits or special treatments are required; it's part of regular hospital care.

Patients are considered when they have a blood test to check for infection. The study will focus on patients needing intensive care and will last up to 30 days or until they leave the ICU. There's no cost or extra risk for participating.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
