Heart Injury from Sepsis in Critically Ill Children
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at heart injury in children with sepsis. It aims to understand how the infection affects the heart so doctors can better manage it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 month and 18 years old.
- Your child must be critically ill (in the ICU or needing intensive care).
- Your child must have sepsis (a severe infection affecting the whole body).
- Your child must not have any heart disease they were born with (congenital).
- Your child must not have acquired heart disease (like rheumatic fever, myocarditis, or cardiomyopathy).
- Your child must not have had heart surgery.

This trial checks heart function, specifically blood flow and oxygen delivery, in patients with septic shock. It can help doctors better understand how the heart is working during this severe infection.
This study looks at how mechanical ventilation (a breathing machine) affects blood test results in children with sepsis (a severe infection). It aims to help doctors better manage care for these children in the intensive care unit.
This study looks at how sepsis and other infections affect survival in hospitalized heart patients. It is designed for people who are being treated for a heart condition and either have no infection or have a specific type of infection or heart inflammation.
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 whether people with sepsis in the intensive care unit develop new heart rhythm problems, what might predict them, and how they affect recovery.
