The book discusses multiple aspects of sepsis syndrome seen in all
age groups of patients and by all specialties in medicine. The
syndrome is the aftermath of the dissemination of an infectious
process into and through the blood stream. This allows the
bacteria, bacterial products and cytokines to reach multiple
organs, resulting in their dysfunction. In spite of the advances in
supportive care and antibiotic therapy, the outcome of sepsis has
not changed significantly. The inadequacies in the current
diagnostic modalities and conflicting inconclusive results of
investigations on novel treatments have contributed significantly
to the lack of progress in the management of sepsis. Antibiotic
overuse in and outside the intensive care unit driven by the lack
of microbiological data and definitive diagnosis lends to the
creation and transmission of antibiotic resistant bacteria, which
has added to the challenges and poor outcomes of sepsis syndrome.
The nine chapters in this book are authored by experts in various
aspects of sepsis from North America, South America, Europe and
Asia. State of the art information is provided in the areas of
pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis and management of sepsis.
Each chapter has a contribution on the role of various
evidence-based preventive strategies to reduce the incidence and
subsequent poor outcomes of sepsis syndrome.
