Study blood drug levels in critically ill children
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial measures how the study medicines move through the body and how they affect the child in the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. It may help doctors choose safer and better dosing for critically ill children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be under 21 years old when you are admitted
- Be admitted to the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit
- A parent or legal guardian (or the patient, if an adult) must understand the consent process and agree to participate
- Be receiving one or more of the trial medicines right now
- The care team must feel the child is medically suitable for the study

This study looks at how critical illness can vary from person to person in the intensive care unit (ICU). It mainly helps researchers understand these differences and may improve future care for ICU patients.
This study measures how children’s bodies handle medicines they are already prescribed as standard care. It may help doctors choose safer, more accurate doses for children in the future.
This trial measures how anti-infective medicines move through a child’s body while they are in the hospital or during follow-up. The goal is to better understand dosing and drug exposure in critically ill children.
This trial will test how using a quick bedside heart ultrasound (focused echo) can help doctors make better decisions for children who are critically ill in the pediatric ICU.
This study measures how certain medicines move through the body and checks their safety in children. It may help doctors better understand dosing and side effects in kids who are already receiving these treatments, or in some kids who recently tested positive for COVID-19.
This study checks if a skin sensor can accurately measure oxygen levels in the blood of children in the intensive care unit, compared to standard blood tests. It may help reduce the need for frequent needle sticks.
