Fluid response in children on low-tidal-volume ventilation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks if giving fluids helps children on a ventilator with circulation problems. Doctors will use ultrasound to see how the heart responds to a small fluid boost.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a child from birth up to 15 years old.
- You are in a pediatric intensive care unit on a ventilator.
- Your doctor has already decided to give you extra fluids to help your circulation.
- Your ventilator settings use a low breathing volume (less than 6 ml per kg).
- You do not have certain heart rhythm problems or a condition called ECMO (heart-lung machine).

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 study watches how the right side of your heart responds when doctors give you extra fluids to improve blood flow during a critical illness. Understanding this response may help doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment in the ICU.
This study uses a simple ultrasound on the upper chest to check if children under general anesthesia need extra fluids. It aims to find a better way to manage fluid balance during surgery.
This study looks at how well blood flows through your body's tissues and whether extra fluids help. It aims to see if measuring certain markers can help doctors better manage fluids in septic shock patients.
This trial tests how well the body responds to a fluid bolus in children who have just had heart surgery. It uses blood gas tests and maybe an ultrasound to guide treatment.
This study tests a new way to manage fluids in children on breathing machines in the ICU. It aims to improve recovery and reduce complications.
