Heart ultrasound for critically ill children in intensive care
This study uses focused heart ultrasound to help doctors make better treatment decisions for critically ill children in the ICU. It may help improve care by giving real-time information about the heart's function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 month and 18 years old
- Your child is currently admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit
- Your child is critically ill

This study tests how using a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) can help doctors better manage care for very sick newborns in the NICU. It may help guide treatment for babies who are unstable, regardless of their weight or how early they were born.
This study uses heart ultrasound (echo) and electrocardiogram (ECG) to check for early signs of heart strain in children with asthma. It may help identify if asthma affects heart health, which could lead to better monitoring.
This study tests a new way to measure heart pressure using an ultrasound, which may help doctors decide how to treat patients in intensive care. If successful, it could be used more widely in the future.
This trial tests a new way to measure how much blood your heart pumps using a simple ultrasound from under your ribs. It may help doctors monitor your condition without more invasive tests.
This study looks at how the heart is affected in critically ill patients who need a breathing machine. It uses ultrasound and other simple tests to check for heart problems that can happen in the ICU, which may help doctors find and treat them earlier.
This study tests whether doctors in the emergency department or heart clinic can use a small ultrasound device to check heart health in children who already have a heart condition. It also tests if artificial intelligence can help read the images. This may lead to faster and easier heart checks for children.
