Sepsis: Current Clinical Practices and New Perspectives: Introduction to the Special Issue

摘要

Despite modern approaches in intensive care medicine, surgery, and immunology, the mortality of sepsis remains unacceptably high. This Special Issue is dedicated to providing immunologists, intensive care specialists, and surgeons with a platform to publish current modern sepsis research. We are proud to present 14 publications focusing on a broad variety of aspects from basic immunological research to randomized clinical trials on intensive care treatment. Basic research articles were selected concerning their potential to be transferred to clinical medicine in the future. Overall, we have designed an interesting and stimulating scientific Special Issue on modern sepsis epidemiology, diagnosis, and therapy.
