Abstract

Improving organ perfusion is the aim of shock resuscitation; therefore, improving organ blood perfusion is a direct indicator for shock resuscitation. During shock, different organs have different capacities for blood flow autoregulation. The kidney is an important organ with excellent ability to autoregulate the blood flow and with vulnerability to poor organ perfusion, which places kidney perfusion in a position of necessity and priority relative to that of other organs in shock. Critical-care ultrasonography provides the best evaluation of renal perfusion.

Keywords: autoregulation; blood pressure; critical-care ultrasonography; kidney; organ blood flow; shock.
