    AbstractThe mortality rate of infection-induced organ dysfunction or hypoperfusion abnormalities due to severe sepsis and septic shock remains unacceptably high. The adequacy and speed of treatment administered in the first hours after syndrome develops influence outcome. Initial resuscitation, appropriate antimicrobial treatment, selection of optimal control methods, properties of fluid therapy, use of vasopressors and inotropic therapy, proper corticosteroid administration, value of the use of recombinant human activated protein C, and glucose control are the most important points newly evaluated for severe and septic shock management.
