Objective: To provide an update to "Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock: 2012."
Design: A consensus committee of 55 international experts representing 25 international organizations was convened. Nominal groups were assembled at key international meetings (for those committee members attending the conference). A formal conflict-of-interest (COI) policy was developed at the onset of the process and enforced throughout. A stand-alone meeting was held for all panel members in December 2015. Teleconferences and electronic-based discussion among subgroups and among the entire committee served as an integral part of the development.
Methods: The panel consisted of five sections: hemodynamics, infection, adjunctive therapies, metabolic, and ventilation. Population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes (PICO) questions were reviewed and updated as needed, and evidence profiles were generated. Each subgroup generated a list of questions, searched for best available evidence, and then followed the principles of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system to assess the quality of evidence from high to very low, and to formulate recommendations as strong or weak, or best practice statement when applicable.
Results: The Surviving Sepsis Guideline panel provided 93 statements on early management and resuscitation of patients with sepsis or septic shock. Overall, 32 were strong recommendations, 39 were weak recommendations, and 18 were best-practice statements. No recommendation was provided for four questions.
Conclusions: 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.

Objectives: Pediatric sepsis results in significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. There is an urgent need to investigate adjunctive therapies that can be administered early. We hypothesize that using vitamin C combined with hydrocortisone increases survival free of inotropes/vasopressors support until day 7 compared with standard care.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of completing 30 mL/kg fluid resuscitation within 1 h in elderly septic shock patients.
Methods: This was a multicenter prospective observational cohort study. We applied logistic regression to assess the impact of completing 30 mL/kg fluid resuscitation within 1 h on respiratory support escalation including new-onset mechanical ventilation, bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) as well as heart failure (HF).

Background And Purpose: Sepsis is a condition capable of causing systemic inflammation and metabolic reprogramming. Previous studies have shown that sinomenine (SIN) can mitigate sepsis by reducing inflammation, while the effect on metabolic reprogramming is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the function of SIN in metabolic reprogramming in sepsis.

Background: Sepsis is the result of a dysregulated immune response to infection and is associated with acute organ dysfunction. The syndrome's complexity is contingent upon the underlying pathology and individual patient characteristics, including their immune response. The involvement of multiple organs and physiological functions adds complexity, with "organ cross-talk" emerging as a pivotal pathophysiological and clinical aspect.

Sepsis, a leading cause of mortality in intensive care units worldwide, lacks effective treatments for advanced-stage sepsis. Therefore, understanding the underlying mechanisms of this disease is crucial. This study reveals that invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells have an opposing role in the progression of sepsis by suppressing regulatory T (Treg) cell differentiation and function.
