Right heart function and its connection to the lungs in sepsis patients seen by echocardiography

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates right ventricular–pulmonary arterial coupling in septic patients using echocardiography. It focuses on adults treated in the ICU at University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City and aims to relate RV function to sepsis severity and prognosis. No intervention beyond standard echocardiographic assessment is performed. The project seeks to clarify how right heart performance correlates with outcomes in sepsis and septic shock. Results could inform risk stratification and management decisions in critically ill patients.
