Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients age group of 18 to 70 years with sepsis having a transthoracic echocardiographic examination performed within 24 hrs of the onset of septic shock in the Department of Emergency Medicine VMKVMCH

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patient excluded if they had known pre-existing non-sepsis related cardiovascular compromise such as acute myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock or a history of congestive heart failure with a left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 40%; had a requirement for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or a ventricular assist device Developed septic shock at an outside hospital where patient managed with vasopressor and intrav nous fluid prior to transfer.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The study strongly supports that the positive fluid balance and impaired cardiac function are key predictors of mortality in septic shock. While initial fluid resuscitation is essential, ongoing fluid management should be guided by cardiac function and individual patient response. Future observational and interventional studies should explore fluid management strategies integrated with real-time cardiac function assessment to further improve outcomes in septic shockTimepoint: Fluid balance and Echocardiographic findings calulated at time interval of 24,48 and 72hr
