Checking blood flow in children with shock

This study tests whether using ultrasound of the neck (carotid artery) and heart can help doctors know which children with septic shock need more fluids. It aims to make fluid treatment safer and more precise in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

This study compares two quick methods for checking blood flow and oxygen delivery in very sick patients in the ICU. It helps doctors understand which measurement works better to spot patients who need urgent help.

This study tests a simple, non-invasive device that measures how well a child's heart responds when doctors give extra fluids during intensive care. It helps doctors decide if more fluids will actually help the child feel better.

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.

This trial tests and compares three methods used to measure circulation and blood flow during acute shock (a dangerous drop in blood pressure). It may help doctors choose the most reliable tool to guide treatment in urgent care or intensive care settings.

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.
