Ultrasound test during surgery to predict fluid needs in children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at a specific breathing maneuver done while your child is on a ventilator during surgery, and uses ultrasound-related measurements to predict whether they’ll need extra fluids. If it works, it may help doctors give the right amount of fluid and avoid problems from too little or too much.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 0 up to under 18 years old
- Your child is having surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital under general anesthesia
- During surgery, your child will be on a breathing machine through an endotracheal tube
- Your child will have a radial arterial line placed for blood pressure monitoring as part of anesthesia
- There is no history of certain heart or lung conditions or other specific medical risks listed in the exclusions
