Fluid Responsiveness Assessment in Children
France513 participantsStarted 2024-03-19
Plain-language summary
Fluid responsiveness assessment is a major issue in intensive care. Since fewer fluid responsiveness tests can be used children, fluid expansion prescriptions are often based on professional practices due to the absence of guidelines. This observational, cross-sectional, multicentric study is an evaluation of professional practices regarding fluid expansions in pediatric intensive care units. The main objective will be to describe the proportion of fluid expansions that are administered following an assessment of fluid responsiveness.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Age less than or equal to 15 years old
* Hospitalization in a pediatric intensive care unit
* Prescription by the attending physician of a fluid expansion in order to increase cardiac output and restore the patient's circulatory function, which the physician has judged to be impaired. Fluid expansion is defined as a rapid intravenous infusion (\<30min) of a high volume (\>10ml/kg or 250ml) of an isotonic crystalloid solution, albumin, or fresh frozen plasma. The decision to administer a fluid expansion and the type of fluid administered are left to the discretion of the physician (current practice).
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patient less than 37 weeks' corrected gestational age
* Univentricular circulatory physiology
* Mechanical circulatory support
* Opposition of the patient or his/her parents or legal guardians to data collection
