- W2092442814 abstract "The incidence of the sepsis syndrome has increased dramatically in the last few decades. During this time we have gained new insights into the pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to organ dysfunction in sepsis and the importance of the host-bacterial interactions in mediating many of these processes. This knowledge has led to new therapeutic approaches and the investigation of a number of novel agents. An assessment of these approaches is presented to aid clinicians in the management of patients with severe sepsis. Criteria used to select studies included their relevance to the management of sepsis and their pertinence to clinicians. Appropriate antibiotic selection and volume resuscitation remain the cornerstone of treatment of septic patients. Hydroxyethyl starch solutions have theoretical advantages over crystalloids; there is, however, no data that the type of resuscitation fluid alters outcome. Vasoactive agents are required in patients who remain hemodynamically unstable or have evidence of tissue hypoxia after adequate volume resuscitation. Although dopamine is widely used, dobutamine and norepinephrine are our vasoactive agents of choice. Dopamine has no proven role in oliguric patients, with early dialysis recommended in patients with acute renal failure. The preferred method of renal replacement therapy remains to be determined. Blood products should be used cautiously in patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation. Therapeutic strategies that interfere with the immune system have not been proven to improve the outcome in unselected groups of patients. However, immunomodulation may prove to have a role in select subgroups of patients. Antibiotic therapy and intensive physiological support continues to be the main approach to the management of patients with severe sepsis. Despite the development of numerous novel therapeutic agents, these drugs have not been demonstrated to improve patient outcome." @default.
