Sepsis is newly defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.

The updated definition should facilitate earlier recognition and more timely management of patients with sepsis. Sepsis should be treated as quickly and efficiently as possible as soon as it has been identified. This implies rapid administration of antibiotics and fluids.
