AbstractSepsis is a very frequent condition and causes high mortality rates and healthcare costs; it is the main cause of death in intensive care units. Clear, improved prognosis was shown for early diagnosed and treated patients. Treatment guidelines are fundamental for appropriate therapy. It is clear that hypoperfusion patients should be hemodynamically optimized; therefore, recognition of hypoperfusion signs is one of the main therapeutic steps. This guideline discusses the current literature and available data regarding the evaluation of hemodynamic parameters.
