In 2013 the World Society of Emergency Surgery published their guidelines for management of intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) stratifying the antimicrobial regimen according to patient’s condition (Sepsis Vs. severe sepsis and septic shock), the pathogens presumed to be involved, and the risk factors...
46]. Its use is currently recommended as part of the SSC Hour-1 sepsis bundle for those patients with sepsis [47,48], and an elevated lactate is part of the Sepsis-3 definition of septic shock [49]. It has been suggested that lactate can also be used...

The evidence level of the literature was determined according to Additional file1: Table II-1. It should be noted that in conditions associated with a high frequency of sepsis, for those with only clinical studies in which the cause of disease is diverse and unidentifiable, the results were de...

4. For diagnosing diabetes-related foot soft-tissue infection, we suggest not using foot temperature (however measured) or quantitative microbial analysis. (Conditional; Low) 5. In a person with suspected soft tissue diabetes-related foot infection, cons...
Urosepsis is defined as a type of sepsis that is caused by an infection originating from the urinary tract and may become life-threatening. Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that includes abnormalities in two or more of the following parameters: body temperature, heart rate, respi...
sepsis that clinicians generally envisage from their experience [6]. The second SSCG revision committee argued to change the previous use of “severe sepsis/septic shock” to “sepsis”; however, no conclusion has been reached. Sepsis, as appropriate for critical care, was deemed “severe sepsis...
Additionally, knowledge of ABG, lactate, and pre-calcitonin levels can be useful when evaluating sepsis. Imaging such as radiography (echography), CT scan, or MRI may visualize gas bubbles present in soft tissue [1]. Visualized gas offers a differential diagnosis from pyomyositis, where there ...
