Summary
A medical emergency and life-threatening disorder, results from abnormal host response to infection that leads to acute organ dysfunction[1]. Sepsis is a major killer across all ages and countries and remains the most common cause of admission and death in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)[2]. The bundle approach has been advocated since 2004 but underwent major modifications in subsequent years with more emphasis on the time-critical nature of sepsis and need to restore physiological variables within one hour of recognition. Sepsis is not septic shock and guidelines did not make distinctive recommendations for each.
