Summary
Prospective single centre study to assess the feasibility of fluid resuscitation guided by
macrocirculatory and microcirculation parameters in patients in the early stages of septic
shock. The investigators will utilise a novel point of care tool to assess microcirculatory
sublingual perfusion in patients with septic shock. This, in combination with conventional
haemodynamic monitoring will determine the timing and volume of resuscitative fluid
administration. The feasibility of this technique will be determined prior to embarking on a
pilot RCT.
