Summary
Sepsis is an ever changing syndrome that has evolving definitions, scoring systems, and management.
You might have heard about the surviving sepsis campaign. It's a joint collaboration between the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the European Society of Critical Care Medicine, which offers evidence based guidelines aimed at reducing sepsis related mortality and morbidity.
Guidelines have been published 4 times now, with the 5th being in progress as we speak. Each edition has evolved, with the most recent being published in 2016.
Today, I want to go over:
- Defining sepsis
- Finding the source
- Labs and imaging
- Management (antibiotics, fluids, etc)
-
