AbstractShock due to or associated with sepsis may present a clinical picture quite different from that usually seen in hypovolemic or cardiogenic shock. Any trend which suggests increasing sepsis should be treated aggressively as if shock were present. The earlier such therapy is begun, the better the results tend to be. Perhaps the greatest errors in the therapy of severe sepsis and septic shock are (1) delayed control of the primary septic process, (2) giving too little fluid in the early phases of therapy (and too much later), and (3) delaying ventilator assistance if the patient's ventilation or blood gases are deteriorating.
