Abstract

Sepsis and septic shock are clinical syndromes that are defined as ”life threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host response to infection.” The medical systems are severely strained by sepsis. The ED is in a prime position to handle sepsis effectively.
The emergence of organ failure is the most significant event during sepsis as it directly relates to morbidity and mortality. SICM is one of the most frequent consequences of sepsis, with a mortality rate of up to 70%.
There is no single definition that is universally accepted for SICM, despite the fact that many studies have shown evidence of circulatory dysfunction in septic patients. The primary feature of SICM is contractile dysfunction. Any or all of the following conditions may be present in SICM patients: dilatation of both ventricles, LV systolic and diastolic dysfunction, and/or RV impairment.
The majority of research has been virtually solely focused on left ventricular function. Given its lesser muscle mass and single organ function, the RV’s neglect in CO research may make sense, yet the RV is an essential component of the circulatory system since it is the second-largest pump in the circulatory system and is linked in series with the LV.
