Steroid Use in Pediatric Fluid and Vasoactive Infusion Dependent Shock (STRIPES)
FY 2013-14
Summary
Approximately 20,000 children per year in North America present to the hospital with severe shock. Children who develop this condition have very low blood pressures and as a result may suffer damge to their internal organs and may even die. Some children with this condition may significantly benefit from the use of steroids but steroids in such patients may also have potential side effects. Therefore it is important to study the use of steroids carefully in these children. We propose a study on the use of steroids versus placebo in children with severe shock.

Abstract
Approximately 20,000 children per year in North America present to the hospital with severe shock. Children who develop this condition have very low blood pressures and as a result may suffer damge to their internal organs and may even die. Some children with this condition may significantly benefit from the use of steroids but steroids in such patients may also have potential side effects. Therefore it is important to study the use of steroids carefully in these children. We propose a study on the use of steroids versus placebo in children with severe shock.
