4. Initial Resuscitation
Sepsis and septic shock are medical
emergencies, and we recommend that
treatment and resuscitation begin immediately
(best practice statements, BPS).
In the resuscitation from sepsis-induced
hypoperfusion, at least 30 mL/kg of IV
crystalloid fluid be given within the first 3 h
(strong recommendation, low quality of
evidence).
5. Initial Resuscitation
Following initial fluid resuscitation, additional
fluids be guided by frequent reassessment of
hemodynamic status (BPS).
Remarks Reassessment should include a thorough
clinical examination and evaluation of available
physiologic variables (heart rate, blood pressure,
arterial oxygen saturation, respiratory rate,
temperature, urine output, and others, as available)
as well as other noninvasive or invasive monitoring,
as available.
6. Initial Resuscitation
An initial target MAP of 65 mmHg in
patients with septic shock requiring
vasopressors (strong recommendation,
moderate quality of evidence).
Guiding resuscitation to normalize lactate
in patients with elevated lactate levels as a
marker of tissue hypoperfusion (weak
recommendation, low quality of evidence).
7. Application of Fluid Resuscitation in Adult Septic Shock
Considerations post 30ml/kg crystalloid infusion
1. Continue to balance fluid resuscitaon and vasopressor dose with attention to maintain tissue perfusion and minimize interstitial edema
2. Implement some combinaon of the list below to aid in further resuscitaon choices that may include addional fluid or inotrope therapy
• blood pressure/heart rate response,
• urine output,
• cardiothoracic ultrasound,
• CVP, ScvO2,
• pulse pressure variaon
• lactate clearance/normalizaon or
• dynamic measurement such as response of flow to fluid bolus or passive leg raising
3. Consider albumin fluid resuscitaon, when large volumes of crystalloid are required to maintain intravascular volume.

9. Diagnosis
Appropriate routine microbiologic cultures
(including blood) be obtained before
starting antimicrobial therapy in patients
with suspected sepsis or septic shock if
doing so results in no substantial delay in
the start of antimicrobials (BPS).
Remarks Appropriate routine microbiologic
cultures always include at least two sets of blood
cultures (aerobic and anaerobic).
11. Antimicrobial Therapy
Administration of IV anti-microbials be
initiated as soon as possible after
recognition and within 1 h for both sepsis
and septic shock (strong recommendation,
moderate quality of evidence; grade
applies to both conditions).
12. Antimicrobial Therapy
Empiric broad-spectrum therapy with one or
more antimicrobials for patients presenting
with sepsis or septic shock to cover all likely
pathogens (including bacterial and potentially
fungal or viral coverage) (strong
recommendation, moderate quality of
evidence).
Empiric antimicrobial therapy be narrowed once
pathogen identification and sensitivities are
established and/or adequate clinical
improvement is noted (BPS).
13. Antimicrobial Therapy
Antimicrobial treatment duration of 7–10
days is adequate for most serious
infections associated with sepsis and
septic shock (weak recommendation, low
quality of evidence).
14. Antimicrobial Therapy
Measurement of procalcitonin levels can be
used to support shortening the duration of
antimicrobial therapy in sepsis patients (weak
recommendation, low quality of evidence).
Procalcitonin levels can be used to support
the discontinuation of empiric antibiotics in
patients who initially appeared to have sepsis,
but subsequently have limited clinical
evidence of infection (weak recommendation,
low quality of evidence).
16. Source Control
A specific anatomic diagnosis of infection
requiring emergent source control be
identified or excluded as rapidly as
possible in patients with sepsis or septic
shock, and that any required source
control intervention be implemented as
soon as medically and logistically practical
after the diagnosis is made (BPS).
17. Source Control
Prompt removal of intravascular access
devices that are a possible source of
sepsis or septic shock after other vascular
access has been established (BPS).
18.
19. Fluid Therapy
Crystalloids as the fluid of choice for initial
resuscitation and subsequent intravascular
volume replacement in patients with sepsis
and septic shock (strong recommendation,
moderate quality of evidence).
Against using hydroxyethyl starches (HESs)
for intravascular volume replacement in
patients with sepsis or septic shock (strong
recommendation, high quality of evidence).
20. Fluid Therapy
Using albumin in addition to crystalloids for
initial resuscitation and subsequent
intravascular volume replacement in
patients with sepsis and septic shock
when patients require substantial amounts
of crystalloids (weak recommendation, low
quality of evidence).
21.
22. Vasopressors
Norepinephrine as the first choice
vasopressor (strong recommendation,
moderate quality of evidence).
Adding either vasopressin (up to 0.03 U/min)
(weak recommendation, moderate quality of
evidence) or epinephrine (weak
recommendation, low quality of evidence) to
norepinephrine with the intent of raising MAP
to target, or adding vasopressin (up to 0.03
U/min) (weak recommendation, moderate
quality of evidence) to decrease
norepinephrine dosage.
23. Vasopressors
Using dopamine as an alternative
vasopressor agent to norepinephrine only
in highly selected patients (e.g., patients
with low risk of tachyarrhythmias and
absolute or relative bradycardia) (weak
recommendation, low quality of evidence).
Against using low-dose dopamine for renal
protection (strong recommendation, high
quality of evidence).
24. Vasopressors
Using dobutamine in patients who show
evidence of persistent hypoperfusion
despite adequate fluid loading and the use
of vasopressor agents (weak
recommendation, low quality of evidence).
25. Vasopressors
All patients requiring vasopressors have an
arterial catheter placed as soon as
practical if resources are available (weak
recommendation, very low quality of
evidence).
26. Vasopressor Use for Adult Sepc Shock
(with guidance for steroid administraon)
Iniate norepinephrine (NE) and trate up to 35-90 μg/min
to achieve MAP target 65 mm Hg

Connue norepinephrine alone or
add vasopressin 0.03 units/min

0.03 units/min to achieve

Add phenylephrine up to

* Consider IV steroid administraon
** Administer IV steroids
*** SSC guidelines are silent on phenylephrine
Notes:
• Consider dopamine as niche vasopressor in the presence
of sinus bradycardia.
• Consider phenylephrine when serious tachyarrhythmias
occur with norepinephrine or epinephrine.
• Evidence based medicine does not allow the firm
establishment of upper dose ranges of norepinephrine,
epinephrine and phenylephrine and the dose ranges
expressed in this figure are based on the authors
interpretaon of the literature that does exist and personal
preference/experience. Maximum doses in any individual
paent should be considered based on physiologic response
and side effects.
28. Corticosteroids
Against using IV hydrocortisone to treat
septic shock patients if adequate fluid
resuscitation and vasopressor therapy are
able to restore hemodynamic stability. If
this is not achievable, we suggest IV
hydrocortisone at a dose of 200 mg per
day (weak recommendation, low quality of
evidence).
30. Blood Product Administration
RBC transfusion occur only when
hemoglobin concentration decreases to
<7.0 g/dL in adults in the absence of
extenuating circumstances, such as
myocardial ischemia, severe hypoxemia,
or acute hemorrhage (strong
recommendation, high quality of evidence).
31. Blood Product Administration
Prophylactic platelet transfusion
when counts are <10,000/mm3 in the
absence of apparent bleeding and
when counts are <20,000/mm3 if the
patient has a significant risk of bleeding.
Higher platelet counts (≥50,000/mm3) are
advised for active bleeding, surgery, or
invasive procedures (weak
recommendation, very low quality of
evidence).
33. Glucose Control
A protocolized approach to blood glucose
management in ICU patients with severe
sepsis commencing insulin dosing when 2
consecutive blood glucose levels are >180
mg/dL. This protocolized approach should
target an upper blood glucose ≤180
mg/dL rather than an upper target blood
glucose ≤ 110 mg/dL (strong
recommendation, high quality of evidence).
34. Glucose Control
Blood glucose values be monitored every
1–2 hrs until glucose values and insulin
infusion rates are stable and then every
4 hrs thereafter in patients receiving
insulin infusions (BPS).
36. Bicarbonate Therapy
Against the use of sodium bicarbonate
therapy to improve hemodynamics or to
reduce vasopressor requirements in
patients with hypoperfusion-induced lactic
acidemia with pH ≥ 7.15 (weak
recommendation, moderate quality of
evidence).
