“…Currently available strategies for the management of sepsis patients include: timely patient identification and diagnosis [15]; rapid identification of causative organisms; appropriate, timely antimicrobial therapy [4,14,16,17]; improved ventilatory techniques (lowpressure ventilation) [18,19]; appropriate (goal-directed) hemodynamic support [20]; targeted pharmacological therapies (drotrecogin alfa [activated]) [16], glucocorticoid therapy [21]; glycemic control (intensive insulin therapy) [22,23]; appropriate nutrition [16]; effective supportive therapies [24] (prophylaxis against stress ulcers, administration of anticoagulants, dialysis [25,26]); and patient management by highly qualified clinicians and nursing staff [4,14,16,17,19]. These strategies have helped to reduce the incidence of infections, support failing organs and prevent complications [20].…”
