Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To estimate the Caval Index a non invasive bedside ultrasound parameter to predict fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients in the ICU immediately after admission.Timepoint: On minutes 0 and 15 of ICU admission

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1)To evaluate the hemodynamic parameters (BP,MAP and Heart Rate) and other Ultrasound guided fluid response after fluid challenge test. 2)To evaluate the changes in perfusion indicator(capillary refill time, serum lactate,ABG) within 24 hours of adequate fluid management.Timepoint: On 0 hour, 12 hour and 24 hour of ICU admission
