Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
In this research study we want to learn more about using non-invasive tools as a way to
predict whether or not a child under general anesthesia will require and respond to fluid
administration.

It is important for an anesthesiologist to know if a child would respond to fluid
administration so that they can provide the optimal intervention for low blood pressure and
avoid unnecessary treatment.


Inclusion Criteria:

- 0 to < 18 years old

- Undergoing surgery at Boston Children's Hospital under general anesthesia

- mechanically ventilated with an endotracheal tube

- Monitored with an indwelling radial arterial catheter as part of the anesthetic plan
for the scheduled surgical procedure

Exclusion Criteria:

- Prematurity

- Low birth weight

- Congenital heart disease

- Left or right ventricular dysfunction

- Cardiac arrhythmia

- Pulmonary hypertension

- Preoperative parenchymal or interstitial lung disease

- Intracranial hypertension

- Poor transthoracic acoustic window

- Obesity

- Allergy to ultrasound transmission gel

- Need for single lung ventilation

- Systemic hypertension on antihypertensive medications
