Shock clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Shock occurs when blood flow is too low to supply the body's organs. UCSF is exploring the use of balanced fluids versus normal saline in treating children with sepsis. This study aims to compare their safety and effectiveness in real-world medical settings.
