Expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of septic shock with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine

Abstract

Septic shock is a pathological stage during the progress of sepsis. The mortality rate is high, and timely, standardized and comprehensive treatment is of great significance in reducing the mortality rate. At present, there are many domestic and international guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis and septic shock. On this basis, China Association of Integrative Medicine Emergency Medicine Committee organized experts to collect evidence-based medical evidence and expert experience in the diagnosis and treatment by integrated Chinese and Western medicine, and referred to the Expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of sepsis with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine published by China Association of Integrative Medicine Emergency Medicine Committee in 2013, developed Expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of septic shock with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The consensus provided a "China approach" for the resolution of this worldwide problem. In the "China approach", the staging of septic shock is "longitude", and the "four syndromes and four methods" treatment thought is "latitude". Under the framework of interlaced latitude and longitude, we recommend a series of effective integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment. The method embodies the wisdom of China and has certain guiding significance for the clinical treatment of septic shock.
