Effect of Dynamic Arterial Elastance and Assisted Fluid Management Software Guided Adjustment of Vasopressor and Fluid Therapy in Septic Shock Resuscitation; A Pilot Study
To investigate the benefit of using the AFM and Eadyn-guided fluid and vasopressor therapy in septic shock resuscitation for mechanically ventilated patients compared with the standard of care. The investigators hypothesize that using the AFM and Eadyn-guided fluid/vasopressor titration in septic shock patients who underwent mechanical ventilation might reduce the time to shock reversal.
• All Thai consecutive patients older than 18 years with a diagnosis of sepsis or septic shock in medical ICU, defined by clinically suspected or confirmed infection and MAP \<65 mmHg according to the criteria of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign 2021(11)with onset of shock in less than 24 hours.
• Already receiving or planning for mechanical ventilation
• Already receiving or planning for arterial catheter placement for invasive arterial pressure monitoring
• All patients will receive an echocardiogram with a cut point of LVEF \> 30% to be included in the study
