Sepsis is life-threatening and might potentially progress from dysregulation to severe organ dysfunction. It is recognised by the World Health Organisation as a global health priority. The mortality rate for sepsis has decreased in many countries, and this is credited to the earlier recognition and treatment of this complex syndrome. In 2002, the Surviving Sepsis Campaign was launched, and there have been several revisions to the sepsis recommendations therefrom. The latest sepsis guidelines focus on viral as well as bacterial infections, and advise that initiating resuscitation and management should take place within one hour from when sepsis is initially suspected. Numerous studies and guidelines pertaining to sepsis management have been published over the past 2 decades. The use of novel therapies and alternative adjunctive therapies has tremendous potential in sepsis management. Debates amongst intensivists exist with the creation of updated sepsis guidelines and advances in treatment. The present review article provides both a summary and recommendations based on the latest clinical evidence and controversies around sepsis management.
