PERFUSION-ORIENTED HEMODYNAMIC RESUSCITATION IN EARLY SEPTIC SHOCK: A STEPWISE ALGORITHM AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR EARLY REHABILITATION

Abstract

Background: Septic shock remains a leading cause of mortality in intensive care units, and survivors frequently develop Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), which significantly impairs functional recovery and quality of life. The quality of hemodynamic resuscitation in the acute phase directly influences the severity of organ damage and, consequently, the patient's rehabilitation potential.
