A Qualitative feasibility study to inform fluids in shock (FISH) A Pilot randomised controlled Trial of Fluid Bolus Therapy in Septic Shock

There is increasing evidence that fluid overload may be associated with harm in paediatric critical illness. Fluids in Shock (FiSH) is a combined feasibility and pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) to determine if restrictive fluid bolus therapy (10  ml/kg) is more beneficial than current recommended fluid bolus therapy (20 ml/kg) in the resuscitation of children with presumed septic shock. This qualitative feasibility study aims to explore: acceptability of the proposed pilot RCT, including the prospect of research without prior consent (R WPC); other potential barriers to conduct of the pilot RCT; participant information; parental decision-making; and patient-centred outcome measures
