Abstract

Sepsis and septic shock are still associated with a high mortality and morbidity. A decisive factor for improvement of the outcome is the prompt initiation of an effective antibiotic treatment. The early recognition of sepsis within the first hour is here one of the biggest challenges. Effective empirical treatment comprises purposefully selected broad-spectrum antibiotics and also combination treatment or antimycotics in special situations. De-escalation strategies to narrow down or shorten the treatment are safe and can limit the side effects.
