Brief summary

The aim of this study is to assess the influence of faster and slower fluid challenge administration rate on macrohemodynamic variables and microcircirculation in the population of surgical and septic patients. Our hypothesis was that faster fluid challenge leads to bigger macrohemodynamic effects but harms microcirculation more than slower one.

Interventions

Intravenous administration of Hartmann´s solution in dose of 5 ml per kg of patient´s body weight to test patient´s hemodynamic response in different rate (fluid challenge) - either fast (5-10minutes - Arm 1/Intervention) or slow (25-30 minutes - Arm 2/Control). The fluid challenge will be performed by the treating physician (anesthesiologist or intensive care physician) during anesthesia (within 30 minutes after induction) or at the intensive care unit (within 48 hours of sepsis onset/ ICU adm
