Abstract: Substantial agreement exists among a large cohort of international experts regarding many strong recommendations for the best care of patients with sepsis. Although a significant number of aspects of care have relatively weak support, evidence-based recommendations regarding the acute management of sepsis and septic shock are the foundation of improved outcomes for these critically ill patients with high mortality.

“…Some authors suggest evaluating the inferior vena cava with an ultrasound to assess fluid benefit to help avoid over-resuscitation [15,17]. Lactate may be used as a guide in determining adequate tissue perfusion, though it is not a direct measurement of this marker [14,18]. An important factor in sepsis, as well as antimicrobial stewardship, is to collect appropriate cultures prior to initiation of antimicrobial therapy to prevent sterilization [14].…”

De-escalating therapy is essential in decreasing resistance, side effects, and costs.…”
