Non Invasive Evaluation of Fluid Responsiveness in Septic Patient
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study aims to evaluate the accuracy of fluid responsiveness assessment with non-invasive cardiometry compared to ultrasound guided inferior vena cava (IVC) collapsibility for management of critically ill septic patients with hemodynamic instability.

Detailed Description
Prospective Randomized observational comparative single blinded study will be conducted at intensive care unit at Benha University Hospitals after obtaining approval of the ethical committee and informed written consent from first degree relatives will be issued. The blindness will be performed to the patients.
The study will be conducted according to CONSORT 2010 statement. Enrolment of eligible patients will occur within 8 h of meeting the criteria for septic shock. All patients will be randomized using the computer-generated software of randomization and sealed closed envelopes to allocate them to one of two groups (30 patients each). Routine measurements and investigations will be taken at admission to intensive care unit; history, vital signs, routine laboratory investigation.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
A The fluid management of patients in this group will be assessed by IVC collapsibility index (IVC CI) calculated by ultrasound through maximum IVC diameter - minimum IVC diameter divided by maximum diameter then multiplied by 100. If it is less than 50% means that the patient is volume non- depleted while if it is more than 50% means the reverse. |

B All patients in this group with sepsis will be evaluated by the electrical cardiometry monitor. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Fluid responsiveness [2 years]
The study primary outcome will be the cardiac index determined by the non-invasive cardiometry in correlation with ultrasound guided IVC collapsibility index to determine which is more effective in prediction of fluid responsiveness.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- total infused fluid from ICU arrival till the goal is achieved [2 years]
- total dose of vasopressor and inotrope taken during ICU stay period [2 years]
- time to weaning of vasopressors and inotropes [2 years]
