Supportive therapy in septic shock

The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) induced by infection, bacteraemia or septicaemia, may progress into severe sepsis, sepsisinduced hypotension or septic shock (1-3). Severe sepsis is associated with organ hypo-perfusion, organ dysfunction, and hypotension (systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg or reduced by 2 40 mm Hg). Septic shock is characterized by arterial hypotension (systolic arterial pressure < 90 mm Hg or mean arterial pressure < 65 mm Hg) associated with altered tissue perfusion seen as increased blood lactate levels, decreased gastric intramucosal pH, oliguria, coagulation abnormalities, and altered mentation (4). Supportive therapy for the maintenance of an adequate blood volume and tissue perfusion is essential in the treatment of septic shock.
