| Abstract | ||
| Introduction • Sepsis and septic shock are increasingly severe clinical syndromes of life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated response to infection leading to critical reduction in tissue perfusion, which can lead to acute failure of multiple organs, including the lungs, kidneys, and liver. Early recognition and treatment is the key to improved survival. • Start to resuscitate with intravenous fluids and sometimes vasopressors then control the source of infection and give empiric broad-spectrum antibiotics directed at most likely organisms and switch quickly to more specific drugs based on culture and sensitivity results. • Electrical Cardiometry (EC) is a method for the non-invasive monitoring of stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and other hemodynamic parameters. Its concept is based on electrical impedance and erythrocytes arrangement during cardiac cycle. EC is very helpful in assessment of fluid status so, complications of volume overload could be prevented. AIM OF THE WORK The aim of this work is to assess the value of electrical cardiometry in assessment of fluid responsiveness in patients presenting with septic shock. | ||
