SEPSIS MANAGEMENT IN RESOURCE-LIMITED SETTINGS ...

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. It constitutes a unique source of knowledge
and guidance for all healthcare workers who care for patients with sepsis and septic shock in
resource-limited settings. More than eighty percent of the worldwide deaths related to sepsis
occur in resource-limited settings in low and middle-income countries. Current international
sepsis guidelines cannot be implemented without adaptations towards these settings  mainly
because of the difference in local resources and a different spectrum of infectious diseases
causing sepsis. This prompted members of the Global Intensive Care working group of the
European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) and the Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine
Research Unit (MORU  Bangkok  Thailand) - among which the Editors - to develop with an
international group of experts a comprehensive set of recommendations for the management of
sepsis in resource-limited settings. Recommendations are based on both current scientific
evidence and clinical experience of clinicians working in resource-limited settings. The book
includes an overview chapter outlining the current challenges and future directions of sepsis
management as well as general recommendations on the structure and organization of intensive
care services in resource-limited settings. Specific recommendations on the recognition and
management of patients with sepsis and septic shock in these settings are grouped into seven
chapters. The book provides evidence-based practical guidance for doctors in low and middle
income countries treating patients with sepsis  and highlights areas for further research and
discussion.
