Renal Resistive Index in Patients with Septic Shock: Changes in the Renal Resistive Index as a Parameter of Tissue Perfusion in the Assessment of Response to Treatment during Resuscitation of Patients with Septic Shock; a Prospective Observational Study
Abstract:BackgroundSeptic shock, a complication characterized by altered tissue perfusion, is associated with high mortality if left untreated. Renal resistive index (RRI) reflects changes in intrarenal perfusion. Therefore, the present study aimed at investigating changes in RRI during resuscitation of patients with septic shock and evaluating its relationship with other micro- and macrociculatory perfusion parameters.MethodsThe present prospective observational study was performed on all patients referring to the eme… Show more
