Summary

Sepsis is a common serious problem in surgical critical care units.Septic shock can be a consequence of severe sepsis with high mortality rate, in which there is major disturbance on the cellular, metabolic and circulatory levels.Patients who suffer from malignancy or under chemotherapeutic treatment are at higher risk of sepsis.Postoperative cancer patients carry both the risk of underlying malignancy with superimposed risk of major surgical procedure.\]. Monitoring effective fluid resuscitation and patient's hemodynamic status is achieved through different techniques mainly by measuring central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) and transpulmonary thermodilution along with chest radiography analysis .This study aims to investigate the correlation between lung ultrasound and IVC collapsibility index in assessment of fluid responsiveness in cancer patients with septic shock.
