Early Haemodynamic Optimization Using Preload Dependence During Septic Shock = EHOSS-1

in this arm, fluid loading is administered with an algorithm using preload dependence indexes. This algorithm is used every hour during the first 6 hours after inclusion, then every 4 hours until vasopressor weaning, and whenever mean arterial pressure fell below 65 mm Hg. Fluid loading is performed with cristalloids or colloids at the discretion of the attending physician.
