Evaluating preload dependence is crucial for managing fluid administration in septic shock patients. To avoid unnecessary fluid administration, it's recommended to use dynamic tests like the passive leg raising (PLR) maneuver or a fluid challenge (FC) to see if a patient's cardiac output will increase after fluid resuscitation. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is preferred for this because it can non-invasively, reliably, and reproducibly measure the increase in cardiac output. A patient is considered a "responder" if their stroke volume (SV) increases by more than 15% after an FC. Two-dimensional (2D) right atrial strain (RAS) is a promising tool for evaluating right atrial function. According to the Frank-Starling law, measuring changes in the RA reservoir strain phase (RASr) can identify acute changes in preload, like those induced by a PLR maneuver or an FC. The aims of this study are to assess the ability of ∆RASr to identify responders after a fluid challenge (FC) and to evaluate the ability of ∆RASr variation induced by a PLR maneuver to distinguish responders from non-responders to volume expansion.

In this pilot study, all included patients will undergo a TTE before (TTEt0) and after (TTEt1) the PLR maneuver, then before (TTEt2) and after the FC (TTEt3). Passive leg raising is PLR. FC is fluid challenge. TTE, PLR and FC are routine care procedures in patient in septic shock. In this study the patient will undergo repeated image acquisition with TTE at different times as part of the study, resulting in a longer TTE procedure. The advantage of TTE is that it is a non-invasive, painless, non-irradiating procedure that can be easily performed at the patient's bedside and has no known side effects to date. TTE is a non-invasive procedure that poses no infectious or psychological risk to the patient. No additional follow-up or telephone contact will be necessary for the study. The study concludes once TTEt3 is completed.

RECRUITING∆RASrFC value in echocardiography after a fluid challenge
The ∆RASrFC will be defined as the difference between the RASr measured before the FC (RASrt2) and after the FC (RASrt3). To measure the RASr at different times, an acquisition of an apical four-chamber loop image focused on the right atrium will be performed at t0, t1, t2, and t3. The measurement of ∆RASrFC will be done offline, blinded to the results of ∆SVFC, by a cardiac echography expert using dedicated software. T0 : refers to the time before the PLR maneuver

∆RASr value after the PLR maneuver
o ∆RASrPLR will be defined as the difference between the RASr measured before the PLR maneuver (RASrt0) and the RASr measured during the PLR maneuver at the peak of the maximal velocity of the aortic VTI (RASrt1). T1 period refers to the time during the PLR maneuver at the peak of the maximal velocity of the aortic VTI.

Comparison between SV measured by TTE and SV measured
Comparison between SV measured by TTE and SV measured by MostCareUp during the PLR maneuver and the FC. SV measured by MostCareUp is based on the PRAM (pressure recording analytical method). This is an uncalibrated monitoring method based on pulse wave analysis. the T1 period refers to the time during the PLR maneuver at the peak of the maximal velocity of the aortic VTI.
Time frame: 10 minutes
Association between RASr and CVP
Evaluation of the association between RASr, ∆RASrFC, CVP and ∆CVP. ∆CVPFC will be defined as the difference between the CVP measured at time t2 and at time t3. CVP is measured at end-expiration using a jugular venous catheter and will be the average of three consecutive measurements. T3 period refers to the time after the end of the FC
