Prediction of Fluid Responsiveness in Paediatric Patients With Septic Shock Using Carotid Doppler Ultrasonography and Echocardiography

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Septic Shock, Echocardiography Guided Fluid Management

In brief

The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of carotid Doppler and Echocardiography as a predictor of fluid responsiveness in paediatric patients with septic shock. and To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Aortic peak velocity and velocity time integral (VTI)variation in patients with septic shock during their fluid resuscitation phase as a reliable predictor of fluid responsiveness.
