    AbstractTissue hypoperfusion is an important factor in the development of multiple organ failure. Therefore, recognition of sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion and timely clinical intervention to prevent and correct this are fundamental aspects of managing patients with sepsis and septic shock. Hemodynamic monitoring plays a key role in the management of the critically ill and is used to identify hemodynamic instability and its cause and to monitor response to therapy. However, the utility of many forms of hemodynamic monitoring that are used in management of sepsis and septic shock remain controversial and unproven. This article examines emerging technologies as well as more established techniques used to monitor hemodynamics in sepsis and assesses their potential roles in optimization of sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion.
