cells. Cellular necrosis and damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) may also be recognized and result in amplification or may substitute for PAMP response, in part explaining the similar mediator profile in noninfectious etiologies of SIRS.
TLR-4 signaling results in a rapid transcriptional response through NF-κB and other transcription factors. NF-κ B activation triggers a cascade of mediators, including TNF-alpha. Experimentally, TNF-alpha infusion recapitulates all the lethal features of sepsis. Downstream from TNF-alpha, endotoxin related signaling involves hundreds of interrelated mediators.

The signaling through TLRs is rapid, complex, and involves multiple inter­woven pathways for inflammation, metabolic pathways, and prothrombotic pathways. The clinical observation that inflammation triggers thrombogenic­ity has been understood within the context of an evolutionary connection between trauma and infection, wherein survival depends upon simultaneous hemostasis, restoration of immune barriers, and pathogen elimination.
3
Adequate host defense against bacterial and nonbacterial pathogens is necessary for survival, and yet excess, systemic, dysregulated, or pro­longed stimulation may result in the organ dysfunction that is seen in sep­sis. Endotoxin induces its own counterregulation. Reflecting the complex nature of cellular response to pathogen, patients with sepsis manifest aspects of both proinflammatory and counterregulatory or compensatory anti-inflammatory responses.
One way to think about cellular response to pathogens in sepsis is to consider the endothelium a global “organ of injury,” in that vessel injury and dysfunction contribute to gas exchange disturbance, hypotension, microcirculatory disturbance, mitochondrial decoupling, and diffuse organ damage. Thus, endothelial injury results in a disturbance in the pathway for oxygen uptake, delivery, and consumption.
What Causes Shock in Sepsis
Shock is clinically defined as acute hypoperfusion that results in organ dysfunction.
Several peptide and nonpeptide mediators of shock in sepsis have been identified, and early mediators such as TNF-alpha and excess iNOS may be amplified or substituted in their activity by late mediators such as adrenomedullin and HMGB1.
Patients with severe sepsis and shock often have multiple distur­bances in perfusion that contribute to overall presentation and impact upon therapeutic decisions. In essence, three physiologic forms of shock comingle in patients with sepsis with shock.
Preload deficit is often the most prominent feature at initial presenta­tion of shock in patients with severe sepsis or sepsis with shock. Venous

return is a complex function of circulating blood volume, vasomotor tone, and blood flow distribution.
4
Thus, preload deficiency is not equivalent to hypovolemia, and all patients with signs of hypoperfusion require volume resuscitation irrespective of total body volume status.
Cardiac dysfunction in severe sepsis is estimated to occur early in as many as 25% of patients with severe sepsis and shock manifesting a low cardiac index despite fluid resuscitation. However, even in the absence of low output, many patients with sepsis will have myocyte dysfunction detected by troponin leak and poor contractility often with tachycardia.
5
Vasodilatory shock with dysfunctional vasorelaxation and maldistrib­ution of blood flow is accompanied by endothelial injury and capillary leak that results in extravascular fluid redistribution, V/Q mismatch, and ultimately in tissue dysoxia and mitochondrial dysfunction.
6
Table 2 out­lines the three forms of shock in sepsis, pointing out the monitoring and management principles for intervention based on this physiological underpinning.
What Is the Cause of Microcirculatory Disturbance in Sepsis
Restoration of target levels of perfusion does not necessarily restore microcirculatory disturbance in severe sepsis. Survival is associated with restored microcirculatory flow, and the absence of restored capillary flow is an independent marker of mortality in sepsis.
7
Several pathological processes contribute to capillary dysfunction in sepsis, including increased thrombogenicity, disturbances in adhesiveness, rheology, auto­nomic tone, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

therapy (EGDT), defined as a bundled care plan for the initial manage­ment of sepsis, has been widely adopted after a seminal publication by Rivers et al. from a single center showing impressive mortality benefit, though not all elements of the original description are universally adopted.
Over the ensuing decade, it has become generally agreed that the major advantage of bundled therapy is that a coordinated approach to sep­sis improves implementation of therapy and provides a checklist to reduce omissions.
8
The major caveat to universal acceptance of bundled therapy is that the demonstrated benefit cannot be easily distinguished among con­stituent interventions, leaving open the possibility that some aspects are counterproductive or ineffective.
The core elements of EGDT, accepted by most, is the implementation of a system for early recognition and initiation of fluid resuscitation, antibiotics, and source control. Far more contentious are the debates that remain concerning resuscitation targets, monitoring tools, and adjunctive therapies such as blood product and inotropic therapy.
In the setting of ongoing debate over the implementation of EGDT, consensus statements such as the “Surviving Sepsis Campaign” provide useful guidelines from expert panels that examine and grade evidence, helping to demonstrate the data that support or limit evidence-based practice including EGDT in sepsis (Tables 3 and 4). The reader should be cautiously aware of the substantial debate among critical care experts. The major caveat for expert panel recommendations is that investigator bias and sponsorship may influence the interpretation of weighted evidence.
9
No therapy bundle can be initiated until the patient is accurately rec­ognized, so that a great deal of attention has recently been placed on sep­sis prediction models that may enhance the process by which the early signs are picked up early and improve the “time zero” for EGDT imple­mentation. If validated and automated, such algorithmic approaches raise the prospect of “pre-emptively” intervening with EGDT and may enhance the opportunity for targeted therapy that is active against early mediators of sepsis.

Manifestations and Management of the Host/Pathogen/Physician Response
Key Intervention Principles
Aggressive fluid resuscitation combined with monitoring of preload deficit resolution is a key component of EGDT. All patients with severe sepsis or sepsis with shock should receive at least 25 ml/kg isotonic crystalloid (e.g. plasmalyte) as a bolus over <1 hr. No convincing out­come advantage to colloid administration has been demonstrated. A history of CHF, renal insufficiency, or other condition that predisposes to accumulation of extravascular lung water should not preclude an adequate fluid challenge in order to address acute hypoperfusion, through careful monitoring of respiratory status, and support with assisted ventilation offered for ventilatory compromise. Likewise, static indirect measures of preload sufficiency such as CVP or LVEDV do not predict accurately the response to fluid, and no perceived thresh­old value should preclude fluid challenge in patients who manifest signs of hypoperfusion.
Early and effective antibiotic administration is a critical time­sensitive component of EGDT. Delay in effective antibiotics is associated with significant mortality.

(Fig. 1).
After initial fluid resuscitation, patients who remain hypotensive should have pressors initiated. Norepinephrine is presently recommended, though vasopressin and dopamine are acceptable alternatives. Purported benefits of primary therapy with vasopressin have not been validated, though the addition of vasopressin infusion may allow a rapid decrease in the required norepinephrine dose. Consensus guidelines recommend avoiding unopposed or maximal alpha adrenergic agonists such as phenylephrine and do not advocate the use of dopamine for renal “protection.”

The use of inotropes to support cardiac contractility defects or to target indirect signs of tissue dysoxia such as ScvO

is a poorly defined element of EGDT, with limited data and poor clinical fidelity despite attractive physiological rationale. A conservative recommendation is to reserve dobutamine for patients with a cardiac index <2.5 L/min/m
