Abstract:
Critical care ultrasound has many operational advantages such as visualization, reproducibility, noninvasiveness, and real-time dynamic monitoring, and is now widely used in the treatment process of various clinical diseases. Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. On the basis of active anti-infection, early administration of fluid resuscitation to maintain organ tissue perfusion and individualized adjustment of volume management is the core of improving patient prognosis and reducing mortality. Currently, there are many shortcomings in the commonly used clinical physical examination and static parameters to assess volume status. Critical care ultrasound has many advantages in volume management of sepsis due to its diversified advantages, which promoted the development of critical care medicine. This article presents a review of critical care ultrasound in volume management in sepsis, aiming to highlight the value and limitations of the application of critical care ultrasound in volume management in sepsis.
