Brief Summary
Echocardiography is recommended for the hemodynamic management of patients with shock. Recently, a new echocardiographic method has been proposed that provides a non-invasive measurement of myocardial work incorporating different components, namely total myocardial work (GWI), constructive myocardial work (GCW), lost myocardial work (GWW) and effective myocardial work (GWE). Echocardiographic measurement of myocardial work takes into account both myocardial deformation and left ventricular afterload (estimated by measuring systolic blood pressure) and, unlike the measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain, could be less dependent on cardiac load conditions, particularly left ventricular afterload. To date, non-invasive measurement of myocardial work has never been validated in critically ill patients, and no study has assessed the effects of different therapies (fluids administration, administration of norepinephrine) on the different components of myocardial work in patients admitted to intensive care unit.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Determine the feasibility of echocardiographic measurement
The primary outcome will be assess by evaluating the proportion of patients in whom non-invasive echocardiographic measurement of myocardial work is obtained.
through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Outcomes (2)
measurement of myocardial by cardiac ultrasound during fluid administration
through study completion, an average of 1 year
measurement of myocardial by cardiac ultrasound norepinephrine administration
through study completion, an average of 1 year
Study Arms (2)
Fluids
EXPERIMENTALNorepinephrine
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
Patients will receive fluid administration (500 mL of saline over 30 minutes). The indication of fluid administration will be left to the discretion of the attending physician.
Patients will receive norepinephrine or norepinephrine dosage will be increased if necessary to achieve the appropriate mean arterial pressure level. The indication of norepinephrine administration or increase in norepinephrine dosage will be left to the discretion of the attending physician.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Indication to fluid administration left to the discretion of the attending physician
- Indication to norepinephrine administration or increase in norepinephrine dosage left to the discretion of the attending physician.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients under protection.
- Patients with do not ressuscitate order.
- Patients with severe left-side or right-side valvulopathy.
- Patients with atrial fibrillation.
- Patients with ventricular aneuvrysm or severe regional wall motion abnormalities.
- Patients with a pacemaker.
- Patients' objections to the collection of their health data.
