Plasma for sepsis resuscitation in children
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to treat sepsis in children by using plasma (a part of blood) to help restore blood flow. It compares plasma to standard IV fluids for children who are very sick from infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age: 1 month to 18 years old.
- Signs of severe infection with poor blood flow (like slow capillary refill, weak pulse, or confusion) or very low blood pressure.
- No more than 1 IV fluid bolus in the last 24 hours for this infection.
- No known heart failure, kidney disease with fluid overload, or nephrotic syndrome.
- No history of severe allergic reaction to plasma products or IgA deficiency.
- No confirmed 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 trial tests a new way to manage fluids and blood pressure medicines in patients with septic shock. It aims to find if using a specific blood flow measurement (capillary refill time) can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
This trial tests a special blood-filtering method (adaptive blood purification) for people with septic shock caused by a severe infection. It aims to see if this treatment can help control inflammation and improve recovery in the ICU.
This trial tests whether removing harmful substances from the blood (plasma exchange) can help children with severe infections that cause organ failure or very low blood pressure. If your child is in the hospital with severe sepsis or septic shock and is between 1 month and 18 years old, this treatment might be an option.
This study tests whether giving a medicine to support blood pressure (inotrope) early, along with extra fluids, can help children with sepsis and shock. It may be an option for children whose shock is not improving after initial fluids.
