Fluid Responsiveness Assessment in Children

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.
