This document defines sepsis as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, replacing older SIRS criteria. It outlines the pathophysiology, scoring systems like NEWS2, and global epidemiology, noting higher rates and mortality in low- and middle-income countries. The core management strategy, the 'Sepsis 6,' emphasizes early intervention within the first hour, including lactate measurement, fluid resuscitation, antibiotic administration, and source control.
