Sepsis, infectious disease Managing septic shock with a restrictive-fluids approach (preferentially using vasopressors after a single liter crystalloid bolus) led to similar outcomes as the usual practice of bolusing large volumes of fluids first. Either approach in severe sepsis with shock seems reasonable.

Background Early recognition and resuscitation of patients in septic shock are critical skills for an emergency medicine physician. The pathologic vasodilation observed in sepsis is thought to result from failure of the vascular smooth muscle to constrict appropriately, leading to hypotension as well as tissue hypoperfusion (2).
