New Review on Septic Shock Management ⚡️

A new paper in Intensive Care Medicine (2025), “Current standard of care for septic shock,” provides an updated and concise overview of evidence-based management of this high-mortality condition.

The review reinforces the essentials — early recognition, timely fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, appropriate antimicrobials, and source control — while emphasising the importance of individualised, physiology-guided therapy beyond initial resuscitation.

A valuable synthesis for clinicians aiming to optimise hemodynamic support in septic shock.

Wonderful work from all contributing authors, with a special mention to Michelle S. Chew, Jan J. De Waele, Ashish K. Khanna, Sheila N. Myatra, and Xavier Monnet.

An interesting study from our hospital pre-COVID. Refusal of ICU admission does not equate to a withdrawal of care, rather that additional critical care interventions are unlikely to alter the ultimate outcome. Also importance of Realistic Medicine. https://t.co/FBNB0M9QqE

1/7: This year, let's fully understand the concepts of fluid responsiveness, fluid tolerance, venous congestion, dynamic fluid intolerance, and perfusion.

This is crucial for all providers as dedicated RCTs (1500 pts!) (@AndromedaShock 2) will help inform how to integrate these into practice.
