The Ratio of Femoral Vein Diameter to Femoral Artery Diameter to Predict Fluid Responsiveness in Children
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The hypothesis of the study will be that the ratio of femoral vein diameter to femoral artery diameter will have correlation with fluid status in pediatrics.

Detailed Description
Proper administration of intravenous fluids is an important part of treating circulatory failure in children and affects the clinical outcome of the management of the child's emergency. Giving a small amount of fluid will cause tissue hypoperfusion and worsen organ dysfunction and cause ischemia. On the other hand, excess fluid interferes with oxygen delivary, exacerbates treatment outcomes, increases complications, and extends both the length of the stay in intensive care and mortality. The use of bedside ultrasound by pediatric intensive care physicians has become so critical in recent years that it is now a component of physical examination in ICUs

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Measurement of changes in the ratio of femoral vein diameter to femoral artery diameter [immediate preoperative period before the induction of general anesthesia]
Measurement of changes in the ratio of femoral vein diameter to femoral artery diameter before and after fluid challenge which will be defined as infusion of ringer lactate 10 ml/kg body weight over 20 min.
