Abstract

The incidence of sepsis increases in Germany from latest DRG evaluations and also the mortality is still at a high level. The aim of the new Sepsis - 3 definition is to optimize the identification and initiation of therapy. The treatment algorithms by Rivers (EGDT) are getting old. Rapid identification of septic patients, rapid administration of antibiotics and rapid therapy management are crucial.
