title: [International guidelines from the Surviving Sepsis Campaign : 2016 update].
abstract: An update to the international guidelines for sepsis therapy was published by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) in March 2017. The guidelines have been completely restructured and comprehensively deal with new evidence. The guidelines discuss sepsis-specific therapeutic measures and provide detailed recommendations on general intensive care measures for sepsis. This article summarizes the most important amendments and suggests delving deeper into the guidelines.
