Dengue is arboviral infection. It is multisystem involvement in nature. Dengue is primarily disease of all ages it is complex in nature and its management involves the stage of disease and depends on the severity of illness. This Study mainly aims to define a case severity based on WHO Classification, assessment and intervention based on point of care ultrasound measurement of IVC. Source of data All the paediatric dengue patients admitted in PICU ward Khaja Banda Nawaz Teaching and General Hospital, Gulbarga. Prospective observational study. August 2022‐ January 2023 50. Out of 50 patients, most of them i.e., 20 presented with dengue shock syndrome patient, followed by 30 patients with DHF. 20 patients presented with fever, weak pulse, tachycardia, wide pulse pressure and raised PCV (hematocrit) 30 patients presented with fever tachycardia, raised hematocrit. All patients point of care ultrasound was done and managed as accordingly among 27 patients had IVC‐less than 7 mm with more than 50% collapsibility and 23 patients had IVC‐more than 8. This study mainly highlights the need for regular use of point of ultrasound care in critical care settings for managing fluid responsiveness. In particularly cases like severe dengue and in Pediatric Population as third space loss in critical care illness worsens the condition of the child
