Infection management in patients with sepsis and septic shock in resource-limited settings

Recommendations on the management of infections in patients with sepsis and septic shock are mainly derived from studies on bacterial sepsis in high-income settings and are not necessarily applicable elsewhere due to differences in etiology and diagnostic or treatment capacity. In this chapter, we provide recommendations on infection management in resource-limited ICUs, taking into account relevant contextual factors such as the availability, affordability, and feasibility of interventions.
