Journal Title: Chettinad Health City Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Management of sepsis and septic shock has been greatly evolved since the initial publications of Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines in 2004. But still these conditions are associated with high mortality in patients admit- ted to the hospital as well as to the intensive care unit. From time to time experts have gathered information and new evidences for the betterment of care of these patients as well as to decrease the high rate of mortality associ- ated with sepsis and septic shock. The guidelines have been revised in 2008 and 2012. The recent guideline, which is published in 2016 have taken into consideration of the best available evidences for the management of sepsis and septic shock till date. While they have incorporated few evidence based recommendation, definitions and newer modalities of assessment for the management of sepsis and septic shock; at the same time they have revised the previous recommendations based on the recently published evidences against these recommenda- tions. Overall these guidelines will greatly help all the physicians involved in the care of sepsis and septic shock patients and will help in improving the outcome of these patients. Till new evidences are available, these recom- mendations will guide physicians taking their best clinical decision for the management of sepsis and septic shock.
