Functional Hemodynamic Assessment in Shocked Patients in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

The article discusses a newly launched clinical trial, NCT06720493, focusing on assessing functional hemodynamic status in shocked pediatric patients in the Intensive Care Unit. The trial aims to evaluate the need for fluid boluses administration in patients with shock, emphasizing the importance of appropriate fluid resuscitation in managing pediatric shock. The study utilizes non-invasive monitoring techniques like electrical cardiometry to assess various cardiovascular parameters and hemodynamic status in critically ill children. The trial is observational in nature, with a prospective cohort design, and is not yet recruiting participants, with an enrollment target of 129 children aged between 1 month and 18 years.
