Electrical Cardiometry Compared to Transthoracic Echocardiography in Fluid Responsiveness in Sepsis

Electrical cardiometry (EC) measurements: by the ICON\_ hemodynamic monitor (ICON Cardiotronics, Inc., La Jolla, CA 92307; Osyka Medical GmbH, Berlin, and Germany, model C3, Serial no: 1725303). Four sensors of EC will be applied (1st: 5 cm above the base of the neck, 2nd: on the base of neck, 3rd: lower thorax at the level of the xiphoid and 4th: 5 cm below the 3rd electrode at the level of anterior axillary line). The ICON continuously displays HR, SV and CO.
