Sepsis monitoring

Sepsis monitoring in critical care involves continuous assessment of vital signs, lab parameters, and organ function to detect and manage sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection. Ultrasound plays a crucial role by providing real-time insights into hemodynamics, cardiac function, fluid status, and source identification, guiding immediate interventions.

Early and accurate sepsis monitoring, particularly with medical ultrasound, is vital for improving patient outcomes in critical care settings. It helps clinicians track disease progression, assess treatment effectiveness, and optimize therapies, leading to better management of this complex condition.
