The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) alongside the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) spearheaded the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) in 2002 with several aims including the development of guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and post-ICU care of sepsis and a reduction of mortality from sepsis.
The updated guidelines are freely available in Intensive Care Medicine: Rhodes A. et al. Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock: 2016
For more information on the SSC Campaign please visit the Surviving Sepsis Campaign webpage.
Since 1990, ESICM has commited to produce guidelines and consensus statements from international task forces in collaboration with other international societies to provide the best evidence for clinicians at the bedside.
The majority of these manuscripts have been published in the journal Intensive Care Medicine.
