title: Sepsis:  a review of therapeutics and considerations for anesthesiologists.
abstract: Sepsis and septic shock remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The complexity of the disease pathophysiology has resulted in a rich area of research on etiology and therapeutics. Anesthesiologists will often encounter the syndrome in their routine practice. This review summarizes some of the basic concepts of therapeutics and some novel therapeutics that are pertinent to anesthesia.
