Monitoring blood flow in children with shock in the PICU
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to monitor blood flow in children with shock in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to help doctors better understand and treat shock, potentially improving recovery.
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 in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with shock.
- Your child needs continuous monitoring of their heart and blood flow.
- Your child has not had surgery just before this (not a postoperative patient).

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 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 trial studies how blood flow and organ “perfusion” look in ICU patients who are struggling with infection and low blood pressure. It may help doctors better measure and manage shock by comparing hemodynamic readings during standard treatment.
This study tests a new way to check blood flow in the tiny blood vessels of the skin for people in the ICU with circulatory failure from sepsis or heart failure. It helps doctors understand how well blood is reaching tissues, which may guide treatment.
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.
This trial studies different ways to measure how much extra fluid your body can handle when you are in shock. The goal is to see which method works best and helps doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment.
