The Randomized Controlled Trial of Inferior Vena Cava Ultrasound-guided Fluid Management in Septic Shock Resuscitation

Summary

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the 30-day mortality outcome of the septic shock patients who are treated with ultrasound-assisted fluid management using change of the inferior vene cava (IVC) diameter during respiratory phases in the first 6 hours compared with those treated with "usual-care" strategy.
