LifeFlow Fluid Study- Non- Critical Pediatric Patients Having a Trans Abdominal Ultrasound

Dehydration Clinical Trial

Official title: The Utility of LifeFlow Rapid Fluid Infuser in Critical and Non-critical Pediatric Patients: a Mixed-method Pilot Study Protocol

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is an unblinded, randomized control study examining two fluid delivery modalities for non-critical female patients with a planned transabdominal pelvic ultrasound requiring intravenous fluid boluses.

Clinical Trial Description

Subjects be identified during their clinical course in the ED and will be randomized to either the LifeFlow® fluid delivery or an IV fluid bolus through the Alaris® pump (standard of care). IV fluids will be provided until the subject notes the sensation of a full bladder, at which point, the standard of care clinical practice is to perform the ultrasound. The transabdominal pelvic ultrasound requires a full bladder for optimal visualization of the ovaries, adnexa, and uterus, and is the only alternative to a transvaginal pelvic ultrasound for virginal young women. All other clinical care is per standard of care. The only research component is the randomization and data collection. ;
