Abstract
Septic shock, a subset of sepsis with circulatory and metabolic dysfunction, carries a high mortality rate due to profound vasodilation, tissue hypo perfusion, and organ failure. It arises from dysregulated host responses, progressing through inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and mixed phases. Early recognition using multiplescoring systems like Sequential organ failure assessment with aggressive resuscitation-including fluid therapy, vasopressors, and antibiotics—are critical to improve outcomes. Lung ultrasound (LUS) plays a key role in evaluating septic shock patientslike Bed side lung ultrasound in emergency (BLUE) and Fluid administration limited by lung sonography (FALLS). Lung ultrasound scores like classical and modified scores (cLUSS, mLUSS) help quantify lung aeration loss and guide fluid management. However, assessing fluid responsiveness remains challenging, with IVC ultrasound providing limited reliability. Integrating LUS with hemodynamic monitoring improves septic shock management, though further research is needed to refine protocols and optimize outcome.



AIM OF THE WORK:

The goal of this cohort study was to assess the utilization of critical care lung ultrasound score in managing and predicting outcome in mechanically ventilated septic shocked patients.
