Sepsis management: An evidence-based approach

The surviving sepsis campaign (ssc) guidelines have outlined an early goal directed therapy (egdt) which demonstrates a standardized approach to ensure prompt and effective management of sepsis. having said that,there are barriers associated with the application of evidence-based practice,which often lead to an overall poorer adherence to guidelines. considering the global burden of disease,data from low- to middle-income countries is scarce. asia is the largest continent but most asian countries do not have a well-developed healthcare system and compliance rates to resuscitation and management bundles are as low as 7.6% and 3.5%,respectively. intensive care units are not adequately equipped and financial concerns limit implementation of expensive treatment strategies. healthcare policy-makers should be notified in order to alleviate financial restrictions and ensure delivery of standard care to septic patients. © 2016,university of economics - prague. all reserved.
