Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the initial efficacy and safety of LIPUS as an adjunct to standard therapy in patients with shock. The investigators will invite patients to participate in a proof-of-concept study investigating the efficacy of neck ultrasound stimulation to enhance anti-shock treatment, involving brief exposure to low-intensity pulsed ultrasound. This study examines whether LIPUS can enhance blood pressure in patients with shock, improve the efficacy of antihypotensive treatment, and reduce the dosage and duration of vasoactive drugs during active pharmacological therapy. By applying LIPUS as an adjunct to conventional treatment in clinical cases of shock, we aim to determine the clinical value of LIPUS and establish a theoretical foundation for developing innovative new therapies for shock.
