Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

All eligible patients will have a cardiac echocardiogram prior to inclusion for the sole purpose of eliminating special situations that are part of the non-inclusion criteria listed below. Inclusion Criteria Patient in an intensive care unit who develops septic shock on admission or during hospitalization, as defined by SEPSIS-3 criteria. Patient or trusted person / legal representative / family member / curator / guardian who has given free and informed consent and has signed the consent form or patient included in an emergency situation. Patient affiliated or beneficiary of a health insurance plan. Patient at least (≥) 18 years of age. Exclusion Criteria: Refusal of consent. Patient under court protection or guardianship. Moribund patient with a life expectancy of less than 48 hours. Non-echogenic patient. Cardiac tamponade. Infective endocarditis. Intracavitary thrombus.

Arm Label

Interventional Strategy: STOPFLUID Algorithm

Standard Strategy

Arm Description

Fluid management is optimised using the specific echographic hemodynamic algorithm ('STOPFLUID') of this study described during the first 4 days of septic shock. Fluid bolus will not be administered in case of increased left ventricle filling pressures; fluid challenge will be performed based on dynamic indices and fluid depletion will be considered on the basis of Lung UltraSound (LUS) assessment.

Fluid management will be handled according to standard care, without using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) during the first 4 days of septic shock management. Haemodynamic monitoring including pulmonary artery catheter, transpulmonary thermodilution, or any other device will be left at the physician's discretion. TTE will be allowed in the standard group only for excluding cardiac tamponade in case of clinical suspicion (one or more of the following signs: jugular distension, pulsus paradoxus)

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Volume of vascular filling during the first 4 days
This takes into account the cumulative volume of vascular filling administered to improve cardiac output during the 4 first days, measured in Liter (L)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Fluid management is one of the key issues in the initial management of septic shock (SS). Fluid overload and hypovolemia have been associated with increased mortality in several trials. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and lung ultrasound are recommended for haemodynamic assessment in critically ill patients. However, the benefit of hemodynamic optimisation using echography has not been yet evaluated. The purpose of this multicenter, controlled, randomized trial is to assess the impact of an echocardiographic algorithm of hemodynamic optimization on fluid management in septic patients during the first 4 days of therapy.
