Summary
This study tested whether using ultrasound to guide fluid management could improve outcomes in 118 sepsis patients in the ICU. Doctors used ultrasound to check blood flow and heart function before deciding how much fluid to give. The goal was to see if this approach could lower death rates and reduce organ damage compared to standard care.
