Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Usual Care Resuscitation Strategy
Decisions regarding the IV/IO administration of isotonic fluid boluses and/or the initiation and escalation of vasoactive medication infusions are left to the discretion of the treating physician and medical team.
We ask that vasoactive medications not be initiated until at least 60 mL/kg (3 litres for children ≥ 50 kg) of isotonic fluid bolus therapy has been administered.
The treating physician and medical team are advised to follow ACCM guidelines for the resuscitation of neonatal and pediatric septic shock and to target ACCM recommended therapeutic endpoints.
|
|
Experimental: Fluid Sparing Resuscitation Strategy
The treating physician and medical team are advised to follow the assigned Fluid Sparing Resuscitation Strategy to guide decisions regarding the IV/IO administration of further isotonic fluid boluses, and the timing of initiation and escalation of vasoactive medication infusions to target the therapeutic endpoints recommended in the ACCM guidelines for the resuscitation of neonatal and pediatric septic shock.
|
Tier 1: Initiate IV/IO vasoactive medication infusion support immediately. Further IV/IO isotonic fluid bolus therapy [crystalloid (0.9% Normal Saline or Ringers Lactate) or colloid (5% Albumin)] should be avoided; small volume isotonic fluid boluses [5-10 mL/kg (250-500 mL for participants ≥ 50 kg)] may be provided if required due to A. Clinically unacceptable delay in ability to initiate vasoactive medication infusion(s) and/or 2. Documented intravascular hypovolemia. Tier 2: Vasoactive medication(s) should be preferentially titrated/escalated to achieve recommended ACCM hemodynamic goals. Further IV/IO isotonic fluid bolus therapy [crystalloid (0.9% Normal Saline or Ringers Lactate) or colloid (5% Albumin)] should be avoided; small volume isotonic fluid boluses [5-10 mL/kg (250-500 mL for participants ≥ 50 kg)] may be provided if required due to A. Documented intravascular hypovolemia. Intervention end: Patient is free from vasoactive medication support and shock is reversed. |
