“…Thus, almost 3% of all hospital admissions in the US lead to severe sepsis, such that an estimated 387,000 cases of sepsis per year are admitted to the emergency department. Sepsis is now among the 10 most common causes of death in the US and is the leading cause of hospital-associated deaths outside of coronary intensive care units [5] . The associated mortality rate can be up to 50% and exceeds 80% for individuals with septic shock and related multiple organ dysfunction [5] .…”

“…The reasonably common occurrence of severe sepsis and septic shock among hospitalised patients in North America, the increase in incidence of these maladies and the staggering associated mortality rate provide ample rationale to support an urgent need for improving sepsis management and the exploration of alternative therapies [5,6] . An estimated 750,000 annual cases of sepsis are reported in North America with a projected increase in incidence of 1.5% annually [6] .…”

“…Um dos pontos primários nas medidas terapêuticas na sepse severa e choque séptico é prover uma adequada oxigenação e recebimento de oxigênio 5 . Vários estudos experimentais demonstraram que altos volumes correntes e pressão positiva ao final da expiração (PEEP) elevados causam uma ruptura no endotélio e epitélio pulmonar, inflamação, atelectasia, hipoxemia e liberação de mediadores inflamatórios 6,7,8 .…”

“…The use of early goal-directed therapies improves survival in patients with severe sepsis and these principles should help guide the resuscitative efforts. There should be support of oxygenation, and if mechanical ventilatory support is necessary, a lung-protective ventilatory support strategy should be used [33,34].…”
