Sepsis is a common medical condition resulting from an infectious stimulus with a variable inflammatory response leading to a spectrum of clinical conditions from mild constitutional symptoms to varying degrees of organ dysfunction and death. The understanding of the patho-physiology of sepsis has lead to better treatment modalities and whilst sepsis is an increasingly more common condition world wide, the mortality from sepsis is nevertheless falling. Treatment algorithms have been promulgated over the years and levels of evidence for these have varied. This review will focus on the early management issues recently updated and released by a multi-national panel of experts based on best evidence, aimed at reducing sepsis related mortality by 25%.
