| Description: |
The Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) is a global initiative to bring together professional organizations to reduce mortality from sepsis (45-50 % for septic shock) 1. Phase I was initiated in October 2002 with the Barcelona Declaration. In Phase II, a group of international critical care and infectious disease experts representing 11 organizations developed evidence-based guidelines that the bedside clinician could use to improve outcome in severe sepsis and septic shock. They gathered data from June-December 2003 and published the guidelines in 2004 2 with a stated goal to achieve 25% reduction in sepsis mortality by 2009. In 2006 and 2007, the Committee met for updates resulting in “SSC-International guidelines for management of severe sepsis and septic shock: 2008 ” 3 which adapted the Modified Delphi method and used the GRADE system to qualify evidence from high (A) to very low (D) and to determine the strength of recommendations as mentioned in Table I. They are applicable for both ICU and pre ICU settings. The recommendations are outlined below (with their grades in bold): I. Management of severe sepsis II. Supportive Therapy of severe sepsis |
