Summary

Assessing the response to vascular filling in shock is a challenge in emergency medicine. The mitral annulus velocity measured by tissue Doppler (E') has recently been characterized as sensitive to the preload conditions of a patient. The investigators hypothesize that the E' variation (∆E') before and after fluid filling allows us to assess the response to vascular filling. The investigators hypothesize that the ∆E' has a good diagnostic performance to establish whether a patient is responsive to fluid filling, defined by an area under the ROC curve greater than 0.75.

Detailed description

Assessing the response to vascular filling in shock is a challenge in emergency medicine. Trans thoracic ultrasound (TTS) is recommended for the diagnosis and management of this type of patient. TTS allows real-time monitoring of the effectiveness of a therapeutic . In case of circulatory failure without cardiac failure, it is recommended to perform fluid filling tests based on an increase in of indicators to assess preload dependence. The change in subaortic VTI, which has become the gold standard in clinical practice for diagnosing fluid filling response, suffers from a lack of technical feasibility. The mitral annulus velocity measured by tissue Doppler (E') has recently been characterized as sensitive to the preload conditions of a patient. The high feasibility of this technique makes its study interesting for the evaluation of the preload (and its variation after variation after vascular filling) of the patient in shock in the emergency department. To our knowledge, there are no clinical studies exploring the relevance of this technique to evaluate fluid filling response in patient admitted with shock in the emergency department. The investigators hypothesize that the E' variation (∆E') before and after fluid filling allows us to assess the response to vascular filling. The investigators hypothesize that the ∆E' has a good diagnostic performance to establish whether a patient is responsive to fluid filling, defined by an area under the ROC curve greater than 0.75. The main objective of this study is to investigate the diagnostic performance of ∆E' in establishing response to fluid filling in a prospective cohort of patients admitted to the emergency department with shock requiring vascular filling.

Conditions

• Shock

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Cardiac ultrasonography	During the inclusion visit, the patient will receive 3 cardiac ultrasonography. The first one will be performed at the time of the initiation of the 500mL vascular filling (T0), without delaying and the second one after the end of the filling (Tfin). These first two ultrasound are part of standard practice. A third will be performed 20 minutes after the end of the vascular filling (Tfin+20).
