Early goal-directed therapy: a UK perspective

A D Reuben et al. Emerg Med J. 2006 Nov.

Abstract

The surviving sepsis campaign developed guidelines in 2003 that were designed to increase physician awareness of sepsis and to develop a series of recommendations for the management of the patient with sepsis. The guidelines had the support of 11 international professional organisations across a variety of specialties, and advocate aggressive, early goal-oriented resuscitation in appropriate patients.
