Frequency of metabolic acidosis in pediatric intensive care
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how often metabolic acidosis (too much acid in the blood) occurs in children in the intensive care unit. It aims to understand this condition better to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 month and 18 years old.
- Your child is admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).
- Your child will have an arterial blood gas (ABG) test – a blood sample from an artery – done when they are admitted.
- Your child has not been readmitted to the same hospital stay (first admission only).
- Your child's medical records are complete and they stay in the PICU until the initial tests are done.

This trial tests if giving sodium bicarbonate helps critically ill patients who have both metabolic acidosis (too much acid in the blood) and acute kidney injury (sudden kidney trouble). It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes.
This study compares two types of blood tests (from a vein and an artery) to see if they give similar information about oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in critically ill patients, especially those with diabetes. The results may help doctors choose the best way to monitor patients in the ICU.
This study looks at acid-base problems in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand these issues better, which could help improve care for patients with similar conditions.
This study looks at the nutritional health of critically ill children in the pediatric intensive care unit. It aims to understand how their nutrition affects their recovery and outcomes.
This study checks if a skin sensor can accurately measure oxygen levels in the blood of children in the intensive care unit, compared to standard blood tests. It may help reduce the need for frequent needle sticks.
This study looks at whether abnormal electrolyte levels (salts and minerals in the blood) on the first day in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) can help predict how well a child will do. It aims to find early warning signs that might improve care for very sick children.
