About this trial
Pediatric population who suffered from sepsis due to perforated viscus will receive fluid resuscitation guided by either central venous pressure or guided by IVC collapsibility index.
The method of guidance of fluid therapy will be applied pre, intra, and postoperatively.
Primary outcome will be the length of hospital stays, while the secondary outcomes will be the incidence of complications and the length of PICU stays
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers

Treatments tested in this trial
Central venous catheter
Procedure/SurgeryCentral venous catheter will be introduced to measure central venous pressure
IVC collapsibility index
Diagnostic testIn supine position, IVC will be assessed in the anteroposterior plane in the subxiphoid view using two-dimensional mode till an optimal view of IVC entering the right atrium will be obtained. Then, measurement of its collapsibility will be done.
