      abstract = {This book is designed to provide a comprehensive and  state-of-the-art resource for clinicians who care for  patients with sepsis and research scientist alike, .  Patients with severe sepsis requiring ICU admission have  very high rates of ICU and overall hospital mortality, with  estimates ranging from 18 to 50%. Risk factors for death  from sepsis include underlying illness, increased age, and  multi-system organ failure. This is compounded by the  significant variation in the management of early severe  sepsis. Care of these patients and clinical conditions can  be quite complex, and materials are collected from the most  current, evidence-based resources. Book sections have been  structured to review the overall definitions and  epidemiology of sepsis as well as current insights into the  pathophysiology of sepsis. This review summarizes the  evidence for the international consensus guidelines for the  identification and management of sepsis. The latter part of  this book reviews emerging concepts and approaches in the  diagnosis and management of sepsis that may significantly  reduce mortality in the future. Sepsis: Pathophysiology,  Definitions and the Challenge of Bedside Management  represents a collaboration between authors drawn from a  variety of disciplines and contributions from basic  scientists and highly recognized clinical opinion leaders  with expertise in clinical trials.},
