Fluid response test for children with septic shock
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study compares two monitoring methods to help doctors give the right amount of fluids to children with septic shock. It aims to avoid giving too much or too little fluid, which can affect recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 5 years old.
- Your child must have septic shock caused by a perforated bowel (a hole in the intestine).
- Your child must not have congenital heart disease, severe heart rhythm problems, or severe lung injury (ARDS).
- Your child must not have massive ascites (large fluid build-up in the belly).
- Your child must not have had previous abdominal or heart surgery.
- Your child must not be obese.

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 methods to measure fluid responsiveness in patients with sepsis and hypotension: cardiometry (non-invasive heart monitoring) and ultrasound of the IVC vein. The goal is to find a simpler way to guide treatment.
This study uses an ultrasound to measure how much the axillary vein collapses when you breathe, to help doctors decide if you need more fluids. It is for patients with sepsis who are breathing on their own and have signs of low blood flow.
This trial tests a new way to see if giving more fluids helps patients with septic shock, a severe infection that drops blood pressure. It uses a quick heart ultrasound to check if fluids will improve blood flow, aiming to guide better treatment.
This study looks at how the body responds to extra fluids in patients with severe infections (sepsis) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to understand how fluids affect blood flow and congestion to improve treatment.
This study tests a new way to give fluids during sepsis in children to improve blood flow and recovery. It compares a standard saltwater solution to a plasma-based solution to see which works better.
