This study aims to compare ultrasound-guided inferior vena cava (IVC) assessment with central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring for the detection of hypovolemia in shock patients in the emergency department. The primary objective is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of IVC collapsibility index compared to CVP values in both early and post-resuscitation phases. The study will prospectively enroll shock patients, collect demographic and clinical data, and analyze the correlation between IVC and CVP measurements to determine their role in guiding fluid resuscitation and hemodynamic management.

Correlation Between IVC Collapsibility Index and Central Venous Pressure
Timeframe: IVC assessment will be performed at presentation and 1 hour post-resuscitation, while CVP will be monitored continuously during the first 6 hours after ED admission.
