The Surviving Sepsis Campaign and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement have teamed up to achieve a 25 percent reduction in sepsis mortality by 2009. [1] The guidelines were updated in 2016 [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and again in 2021.
The Surviving Sepsis Campaign decided to ban HES from treatment in sepsis patients. [19] On June 14, 2013, PRAC, which is the safety committee of EMA, the European regulatory agency, published on their official website the recommendation to suspend the marketing authorisation of all HES products in Europe.
Finally, the Surviving Sepsis Campaign was established, in theory to raise awareness of severe sepsis and generate momentum toward the development of treatment guidelines. This marketing campaign was especially troublesome because Xigris has been linked to increased risk of serious bleeding in patients who used it as well as other concerns.
The Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines advocate intravenous hydrocortisone only in adults with septic shock and refractory hypotension. [4] The exact definition of this condition, the best ways to test for corticoid insufficiency in critically ill patients, and the therapeutic use of (usually low doses) of corticosteroids remains a subject of ...
A large international collaboration entitled the "Surviving Sepsis Campaign" was established in 2002 [134] to educate people about sepsis and to improve outcomes with sepsis. The Campaign has published an evidence-based review of management strategies for severe sepsis, with the aim to publish a complete set of guidelines in subsequent years ...
Early goal-directed therapy (EGDT or EGDT) was introduced by Emanuel P. Rivers in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2001 and is a technique used in critical care medicine involving intensive monitoring and aggressive management of perioperative hemodynamics in patients with a high risk of morbidity and mortality.

The Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines recommend the very early management of the sepsis focusing on the hour-1 bundle. This includes use of Vasopressin 0.03 units/minute as add-on to norepinephrine (NE) with intent of either raising the mean arterial pressure or decreasing the norepinephrine dosage (i.e. de-catecholaminization). [13]
The Sepsis Six is the name given to a bundle of medical therapies designed to reduce mortality in patients with sepsis. [citation needed] Drawn from international guidelines that emerged from the Surviving Sepsis Campaign [1] [2] the Sepsis Six was developed by The UK Sepsis Trust. [3] (Daniels, Nutbeam, Laver) in 2006 as a practical tool to ...
