Assessment of Cardiac Output and Stroke Volume in Septic Shock Patients
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
The aim of this research is to compare the accuracy and reliability of electrical cardiometry versus transthoracic echocardiography in measuring cardiac output and stroke volume in patients with septic shock, to evaluate the potential of EC as a non-invasive alternative for hemodynamic monitoring.

Conditions
Interventions
echocardiogram
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the gold standard for non-invasive bedside assessment of CO and SV, providing precise evaluation of cardiac structure and flow. However, TTE requires operator expertise, can be time-consuming, and may be limited by patient-specific factors.
Electrical cardiometry
Electrical cardiometry (EC) is an emerging non-invasive bio-impedance technique offering continuous monitoring with easier application and less operator dependency. Despite its advantages, EC's accuracy and reliability in critically ill septic patients require further validation.
