Full Manuscript CPG for Sepsis and Septic Shock
This Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) is intended for the use of practicing clinicians in the Philippines who are involved in the care of adult patients with sepsis and septic shock. This document may be used by government and private practicing physicians, as well as trainors and trainees with respect to medical education, training, and mentoring.
This Philippine CPG for Sepsis and Septic Shock was developed because of (1) the significant burden of disease, (2) the confusion over the definitions, (3) the significant variability in clinical practice, (4) the availability of new evidence, and (5) the feasibility issues concerning cost, availability, and access to resources in the Philippines.
