Clinical Trial: Ionized Calcium as a Severity Marker in Septic Shock Patients

U.S., Sept. 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07812051) titled 'Ionized Calcium as a Severity Marker in Septic Shock Patients' on Sept. 04.

Brief Summary: Sepsis is a serious condition where the body has an extreme, dysregulated response to an infection, often leading to life-threatening organ dysfunction. Low levels of ionized calcium (the active, free form of calcium in the blood) are common in critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs).
