Management
Severe sepsis is usually treated in the intensive care unit with:
- Intravenous fluids;
- Antibiotics;
- Surgical drainage of infected fluid collections;
- Vasopressor medications (to maintain blood pressure);
- Mechanical ventilation (to support the function of the lungs); and
- Dialysis (to support the function of the kidneys).
