Sepsis Sepsis is a major disease entity associated with high morbidity and mortality risks for critically ill patients. Evidence-based guidelines advocate assessment and monitoring aimed at early recognition and treatment. Early goal-directed therapy, tighter blood glucose control, administration of drotrecogin alfa (activated), and corticosteroid replacement are improving outcomes in patients with severe sepsis.
