Clinical Trial: Brain Blood Flow and Cerebral Autoregulation Monitoring in Critically Ill Children

U.S., May 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07613918) titled 'Brain Blood Flow and Cerebral Autoregulation Monitoring in Critically Ill Children' on May 21.

Brief Summary: This study uses a non-invasive (external) ultrasound test called Transcranial Doppler (TCD) to measure how blood flows through the major arteries of the brain of children receiving care in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). TCD is already used for clinical reasons in many children, but it is not part of routine monitoring for every critically ill child. By using TCD, the investigators hope to better understand how brain blood flow changes during illness. They will also track children's functional status from before the...
