Non-invasive Goal-directed thErapy oN cIrcUlatory Shock

Circulatory shock occurs when the oxygen supply to the tissues decreases, leading to cellular damage and affecting about one-third of patients admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Cardiac Output (CO) is defined as the volume of blood ejected by the left ventricle per minute and is a crucial hemodynamic parameter for monitoring patients with signs of circulatory shock. However, this parameter is underutilized in patients treated in Emergency Units because its measurement typically involves invasive methods, which are not commonly available in this setting. Any method capable of measuring CO without the need for pulmonary artery catheter insertion is referred to as minimally invasive CO monitoring. Evaluating these parameters allows for a quicker determination of the etiology of circulatory shock, enabling the early initiation of goal-directed therapy. Goal-directed therapy has been proven effective in reducing morbidity and mortality, ICU length of stay, and mechanical ventilation duration in ICU patients who respond to fluid resuscitation. Currently, there are no data on the impact of a hemodynamic optimization strategy in patients during the early hours of shock. The objective is to assess whether goal-directed hemodynamic therapy, through non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring, reduces the time required for hemodynamic resuscitation in patients with septic shock. A multicenter, randomized, open-label study will be conducted in Emergency Units, Intensive Care Units, and Ho…
