Eligibility Criteria
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. Dilated cardiomyopathy with LVEF (Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction<40%. Parturient or nursing patient.

Interventional Strategy: STOPFLUID Algorithm
Standard Strategy
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)
