Sepsis Definitions - Changing Perspectives
Journal Title: Journal Of Pediatric Critical Care - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The evolving changes in the “defi nition” of sepsis refl ect both a new emphasis on precision, needed for research, and an ever-expanding knowledge of its pathophysiology. Even with the recent revision of sepsis defi nitions, identifi cation of patients with early sepsis remains a signifi cant challenge. Newer defi nitions and clinical criteria should clarify longused descriptors and facilitate earlier recognition and more timely management of patients with sepsis or at risk of developing it. This process, however, remains a work in progress.
