The hypothesis is that fluid-responsive patients who show signs of venous congestion experience a worsening of microcirculatory status after fluid administration compared to patients without signs of venous congestion
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
30
Signs of venous congestion and microcirculatory status will be assessed at baseline. A fluid challenge will then be performed, and microcirculation will be evaluated at the end of fluid administration and again after 30 minutes
