30 lip 2024 · For patients who are clinically in shock with no obvious cause (despite evaluation of history, physical exam, and echocardiography), there should be a high index of suspicion for septic shock. Echocardiography will identify most non-distributive causes of shock (e.g., RV dysfunction, LV dysfunction, pericardial tamponade, frank hypovolemia).
Screening patients for signs and symptoms of sepsis and septic shock facilitates earlier identification and intervention. 36,45 Effective treatment should focus on timely intervention, including removal of the source of infection. Aggressive assessment for an unrecognised source or undrained abscess through appropriate laboratory testing and ...
