Summary

Evaluating preload dependence is crucial for managing fluid administration in septic shock patients. To avoid unnecessary fluid administration, it's recommended to use dynamic tests like the passive leg raising (PLR) maneuver or a fluid challenge (FC) to see if a patient's cardiac output will increase after fluid resuscitation. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is preferred for this because it can non-invasively, reliably, and reproducibly measure the increase in cardiac output. A patient is considered a "responder" if their stroke volume (SV) increases by more than 15% after an FC. Two-dimensional (2D) right atrial strain (RAS) is a promising tool for evaluating right atrial function. According to the Frank-Starling law, measuring changes in the RA reservoir strain phase (RASr) can identify acute changes in preload, like those induced by a PLR maneuver or an FC.

The aims of this study are to assess the ability of ∆RASr to identify responders after a fluid challenge (FC) and to evaluate the ability of ∆RASr variation induced by a PLR maneuver to distinguish responders from non-responders to volume expansion.

Interventions

OTHER

Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)

In this pilot study, all included patients will undergo a TTE before (TTEt0) and after (TTEt1) the PLR maneuver, then before (TTEt2) and after the FC (TTEt3). Passive leg raising is PLR. FC is fluid challenge. TTE, PLR and FC are routine care procedures in patient in septic shock. In this study the patient will undergo repeated image acquisition with TTE at different times as part of the study, resulting in a longer TTE procedure. The advantage of TTE is that it is a non-invasive, painless, non-irradiating procedure that can be easily performed at the patient's bedside and has no known side effects to date. TTE is a non-invasive procedure that poses no infectious or psychological risk to the patient. No additional follow-up or telephone contact will be necessary for the study. The study concludes once TTEt3 is completed.
