The epidemiology of sepsis in Brazilian intensive care units (the Sepsis PREvalence Assessment Database, SPREAD): an observational study

Flávia Ribeiro Machado, +307 more
TL;DR: The results show the burden of sepsis in resource-limited settings, highlighting the need to establish programmes aiming for sepsi prevention, early diagnosis, and adequate treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positive fluid balance as a prognostic factor for mortality and acute kidney injury in severe sepsis and septic shock

TL;DR: Positive fluid balances are not associated with either protection against or risk for acute kidney injury, and late positive fluid balance is an independent risk factor for mortality in severe sepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implementation of a multifaceted sepsis education program in an emerging country setting: clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness in a long-term follow-up study

TL;DR: A multifaceted approach to severe sepsis and septic shock patients in an emerging country setting led to high compliance with the resuscitation bundle and the intervention was cost-effective and associated with a reduction in mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reclassifying the spectrum of septic patients using lactate: severe sepsis, cryptic shock, vasoplegic shock and dysoxic shock

TL;DR: The definition of sepsis includes four different profiles if the authors consider the presence of hyperlactatemia, and further studies are needed to better characterize septic patients, to understand the etiology and to design adequate targeted treatments.
