Overview
Brief Summary
Septic shock and multi-organ failure are among the most frequent causes of death in the ICU.
Patients with septic shock require early implementation of hemodynamic therapy to keep the duration of shock state and with it microcirculatory disturbances as short as possible. In the septic shock guidelines by the american association SCCM the diagnosis of volume status is based on filling pressures, like CVP. Some studies show, that the CVP depends not only on the intravascular volume, but also on the right ventricular compliance, pulmonary vascular resistance as well as intrathoracic pressure. The aim of the Study is to evaluate if the duration of septic shock can be reduced through algorithm driven volume therapy orientated to thermodilution based volume parameters (GEDI and ELWI)

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Duration of septic shock
Time Frame: 6 months
septic shock is defined as sepsis with mean arterial pressure (MAP) \<65mmHg or systolic arterial pressure (SAP) \<90mmHg or the need for vasopressors to support the MAP \>/= 65 mmHg or the SAP \>/= 90 mmHg
Secondary Outcomes
- 90 and 180 days mortality(max 180 days)
- Intensive care mortality(max 28 days)
- Frequency of arterial hypoperfusion in the extremity of the thermodilution(max. 28 days)
- 28 day mortality(max 28 Tage)
