Point of Care Ultrasound Diagnosis of Perioperative Sepsis Shock

Abstract

Point-of-care ultrasound of echocardiographic is capable of identifying the precise causes of hemodynamic disorder in patients with sepsis especially septic shock [1]. Patients in sepsis demonstrate complex alterations in their circulation, including changes in preload and afterload and right ventricle dysfunction [2]. Based on systemic inflammation it can also cause a significant proportion of acute lung injury, as the most common manifestation of sepsis with multiple organ dysfunction [3], real-time bedside assessment of lung function is required, simple using of cardiac ultrasound may lead to the omission of clinical information.
