Fluid management in children on breathing machines
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to manage fluids in children on breathing machines in the ICU. It aims to improve recovery and reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is under 10 years old and weighs less than 35 kg.
- Your child is on a breathing machine (ventilator) for breathing problems.
- Your child can be enrolled within 24 hours of starting the breathing machine.
- Your child is expected to need the breathing machine for more than 48 hours.
- Your child was not born prematurely (at least 37 weeks).
- Your child does not have any of the following: kidney disease, heart defects, liver failure, heart failure, or high blood pressure in the lungs.

This study tests when and how much fluid should be removed from patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who need help getting rid of extra fluid. It uses medicines called diuretics or a machine that filters the blood (ultrafiltration) to find the best approach.
This trial measures how closely daily weight changes match fluid intake and output in ICU patients. It helps doctors understand fluid balance without complicated procedures.
This study looks at how to safely remove excess fluid from patients in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure and are on a special blood-filtering machine (CRRT). Researchers want to understand which patients have trouble tolerating fluid removal and how to prevent complications.
This trial tests if lowering the amount of salt water (sodium chloride) given as maintenance fluids or 'fluid creep' can help critically ill adults in the ICU recover better. It compares two ways of managing daily fluids to see which is safer and more effective.
This study tests two different approaches to managing fluids given to brain injury patients in the ICU—one more restrictive and one more liberal—to see which is safer and more effective. The goal is to find the best balance that protects the brain while supporting overall health.
This study checks if giving fluids helps children on a ventilator with circulation problems. Doctors will use ultrasound to see how the heart responds to a small fluid boost.
