This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. It constitutes a unique source of knowledge and guidance for all healthcare workers who care for patients with sepsis and septic shock in resource-limited settings. More than eighty percent of the worldwide deaths related to sepsis occur in resource-limited settings in low and middle-income countries. Current international sepsis guidelines cannot be implemented without adaptations towards these settings, mainly because of the difference in local resources and a different spectrum of infectious diseases causing sepsis. This prompted members of the Global Intensive Care working group of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) and the Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU, Bangkok, Thailand) - among which the Editors – to develop with an international group of experts a comprehensive set of recommendations for the management of sepsis in resource-limited settings. Recommendations are based on both current scientific evidence and clinical experience of clinicians working in resource-limited settings. The book includes an overview chapter outlining the current challenges and future directions of sepsis management as well as general recommendations on the structure and organization of intensive care services in resource-limited settings. Specific recommendations on the recognition and management of patients with sepsis and septic shock in these settings are grouped into seven chapters. The book provides evidence-based practical guidance for doctors in low and middle income countries treating patients with sepsis, and highlights areas for further research and discussion.

Sepsis is an important public health problem around the world. Severe sepsis carries significant morbidity, mortality and high costs. The incidence of sepsis is increasing because of the aging population, the growing number of immunocompromised hosts, the increasing use of invasive procedures, and, to a lesser extent, antibiotic resistance among pathogens. Despite recent advances in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutic approaches the mortality rate associated with this condition remains high. Therefore, the goal of Sepsis: New Strategies is to review novel targets to be considered in patients with severe sepsis and to assess new developments for patients with sepsis originating in the respiratory tract.

This book is unique in approaching multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) from the perspective of its pathophysiological mechanism, and addressing aspects that are overlooked in most of the available literature. Eminent experts in the field from Europe and beyond offer new insights into risk stratification, severity assessment, and management of critically ill patients with sepsis. The principal focus is on recently developed concepts in infection management and in antibiotic use, bearing in mind that in these patients the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics are altered, affecting renal clearance and requiring dosage adjustments. The significance of the PIRO (predisposing factors, infection, response, organ dysfunction) model in the development of effective treatment strategies is emphasized. This book will be of interest and value to all who are involved in the treatment of, or research into, sepsis and MODS.

Sepsis: New Insights, New Therapies brings together contributions from an international group of experts in diverse fields to consider how the various pathways implicated in early and late sepsis interact, with a particular emphasis on novel concepts and potential new therapeutic approaches. Topics covered include adaptive immunity, inflammation, neuroendocrinology, bioenergetics and metabolism. Several chapters in the latter half of the book are particularly concerned with treatment strategies involving modulation of the neuroendocrine response. Addresses the frequent, but under-recognised condition of sepsis and discusses new ways to prevent and treat it Describes numerous pharmacological approaches to therapy for early and late sepsis Includes detailed discussion of the various physiological systems implicated in sepsis Presents an international perspective, featuring contributions from experts from laboratories worldwide involved in the study of sepsis Sepsis: New Insights, New Therapies is an invaluable resource for all critical care physicians and researchers. It is also informative reading for immunologists, endocrinologists, neuroendocrinologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists.

The incidence of sepsis is increasing as new medical and surgical technologies are applied to an increasingly aging patient population. The treatment of sepsis emphasizes strategies to avoid multiple organ dysfunction, with particular attention to establishing source control, and then modifies the host's response to the excessive inflammatory response which characterizes sepsis. This book is a comprehensive review by internationally recognized experts of the epidemiology, monitoring and treatment of sepsis. Using an "evidence-based" approach, it comprises an extensive review of the literature on sepsis, provides up-to-date recommendations for monitoring and treating sepsis patients, and concludes with explicit recommendations for the design and monitoring of future clinical trials.

Paper Presented at 42nd annual Conference of Maharashtra State Chapter of ASI ( MASICON 2020) in Amravati on 24 January 2020. ) Abstract: Background: Septic shock remains a leading cause of mortality despite advances in critical care. Recent updates and guidelines have shifted clinical approaches to improve recognition and management. This review highlights the role of various clinical tools, interventions, and therapeutic strategies in managing septic shock. Objective: To examine the current clinical strategies and guidelines in recognizing and treating septic shock, with emphasis on occult septic shock, fluid resuscitation, vasopressor usage, and the role of steroids, lactate monitoring, and procalcitonin in prognosis. Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature, including the latest guidelines from the Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (Sepsis-3), the Surviving Sepsis Campaign, and retrospective studies comparing clinical tools such as SIRS, qSOFA, and NEWS for early identification of septic shock. Results: 1. Recognition of Septic Shock: - SIRS, qSOFA, and NEWS were evaluated, with NEWS emerging as a more accurate tool for early recognition. - Lactate and procalcitonin are valuable markers but have limitations in predicting patient outcomes.2. Resuscitation Strategies: - Ringer's Lactate is preferred over saline for initial resuscitation due to the latter’s association with hyperchloremic acidosis. - The recommended fluid resuscitation strategy includes rapid administration of 30mL/kg crystalloid for hypotension or lactate > 4 mmol/L.3. Vasopressor and Steroid Use: - Early norepinephrine administration is recommended to maintain a MAP > 65 mmHg. - Vasopressin is the second-line vasopressor, though its benefits in reducing mortality are uncertain. - Steroids, particularly in conjunction with vitamin C and thiamine, may improve outcomes in vasopressor-refractory septic shock.4. Antibiotic Timing and Administration: - Early antibiotic administration, ideally within one hour of sepsis diagnosis, significantly improves survival rates. Conclusion: Effective management of septic shock involves early recognition using appropriate clinical tools like NEWS, aggressive fluid resuscitation with balanced crystalloids, timely initiation of vasopressors, and careful consideration of steroids and antibiotics. Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to refine these approaches, particularly in vasopressor and steroid administration.

This practically oriented book provides an up-to-date overview of all significant aspects of the pathogenesis of sepsis and its management, including within the intensive care unit. Readers will find information on the involvement of the coagulation and endocrine systems during sepsis and on the use of biomarkers to diagnose sepsis and allow early intervention. International clinical practice guidelines for the management of sepsis are presented, and individual chapters focus on aspects such as fluid resuscitation, vasopressor therapy, response to multiorgan failure, antimicrobial therapy, and adjunctive immunotherapy. The closing section looks forward to the coming decade, discussing novel trial designs, sepsis in low- and middle-income countries, and emerging management approaches. The book is internatio nal in scope, with contributions from leading experts worldwide. It will be of value to residents and professionals/practitioners in the fields of infectious diseases and internal medicine, as well as to GPs and medical students.
