Fluid treatment study for children with sepsis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Patients must be between 1 month and 18 years old.
- Must have sepsis with signs of poor blood flow, such as slow capillary refill, weak pulses, or low blood pressure.
- Must have a legal guardian who can sign a consent form.
- Cannot have received two or more large IV fluid boluses within the last 24 hours for this infection.
- Cannot have known allergies to plasma products, IgA deficiency, heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, or active hemorrhagic dengue fever.

This study tests whether adding plasma exchange (a blood-cleaning treatment) to usual care can improve outcomes for people with new septic shock. If you qualify, you may receive this treatment soon after septic shock is diagnosed to help your body recover.
This study tests whether therapeutic plasma exchange (a procedure that removes and replaces blood plasma) can improve outcomes in ICU patients with septic shock that is not responding to standard medicines. It may help some people whose infection-related illness is causing failing organs.
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 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.
This trial tests a new approach to treating septic shock, a life-threatening condition where infection causes dangerously low blood pressure. It aims to see if a different way of managing fluids and medications can improve recovery compared to standard care.
This trial compares the use of a simple ultrasound test of the lungs and heart to help doctors decide how much fluid to give adults with septic shock. The goal is to find the most accurate way to guide treatment, which could lead to better recovery.
