Ventilation and blood changes in children with sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how mechanical ventilation (a breathing machine) affects blood counts in children with sepsis (a severe infection). Understanding this might help doctors better manage care for these children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children aged 1 month to 18 years old
- Diagnosed with sepsis (a severe infection)
- Needs a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) for at least 24 hours
- Admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU)
- Complete blood test results available before and during ventilation

This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection) can harm the heart in critically ill children. The goal is to better understand and manage this heart injury to improve outcomes.
This study looks at how different sedation practices affect outcomes in children who need a breathing machine. If your child is in the PICU and on a ventilator, this trial could help improve care.
This study uses special blood testing to learn what is happening in the immune system during sepsis in children and how it may relate to organ injury. Your results may help doctors recognize and treat sepsis earlier and more accurately.
This study looks at how children breathe while on a breathing machine (ventilator) to help doctors adjust the machine better. It may help improve comfort and weaning off the ventilator.
This study tests whether a blood purification treatment can help children with severe sepsis (a life-threatening infection) by filtering their blood to remove harmful substances. It may help improve organ function and recovery.
This study looks at how children are ventilated (helped to breathe) during surgery. It will help doctors understand current practices and improve care for young patients.
