Sepsis evidence based treatment

An important overall approach for treatment of sepsis is goal-directed therapy. Mortality can be reduced by early placement and use of a central venous catheter, increased fluid volume administration, dobutamine therapy if needed, and red blood cell transfusion, to achieve specific physiologic goals in the first 6 hours. Evidence-based treatment recommendations for sepsis and septic shock from the Surviving Sepsis campaign are presented in Table 45-3.
