Abstract

Septic shock is increasing in incidence and there has apparently been no improvement in mortality since 1958. However, in the last 10 years, there has been a huge advance in understanding of the pathophysiological processes in septic shock. Has this led to anything new that should change our clinical practice at the bedside?
