Severe sepsis and septic shock are conditions with a mortality rate about 50% despite of advances of antimicrobial treatment and supportive cares. Recently, investigators are trying to establish a scientific basis for identification of high-risk patients, or a standard practice for hemodynamic optimization and adjunctive pharmacologic therapies for these patients.
