Brief Summary  
Selecting an efficient method to assess Fluid responsiveness in ICU is crucial
especially in first one hour of presentation in septic shock patients. Prompt
administration of fluid during early resuscitation phase might prove to be an important
factor in further prognosis of the patient. According to Recent Surviving Sepsis
Guidelines, the second pillar of treatment is fluid resuscitation.
Rationale
Trans-Thoracic Echocardiography (TTE) is widely used in ICU for assessing fluid
responsiveness. The left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (LVOT VTI)
shows how the SV changes in response to fluid administration; therefore, the LVOT
VTI is used to guide intravenous fluid management. However, Common Carotid
Artery Flow Doppler is much easier, does not depend on adequate cardiac windows,
and requires less skill and expertise than LVOT VTI.

Study Procedure
Transthoracic Echocardiography will be done to assess LVOT VTI initially and 20 minutes after fluid administration.  Corrected Carotid Flow Time (cCFT) will also be calculated similarly at these two time points. Fluid responsiveness will be defined if LVOT VTI is more than 17 cm or Delta VTI is less than 15 percent, and corresponding cCFT value will be taken for correlation with LVOT VTI
