The Clinical Practice Committee of the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine endorses the clinical practice guideline Surviving sepsis campaign: international guidelines for management of sepsis and septic shock 2021. The guideline serves as a useful bedside decision aid for clinicians managing adults with suspected and confirmed septic shock and sepsis-associated organ dysfunction.
BACKGROUND
Sepsis and septic shock remain a leading global cause of mortality and morbidity.1-3 Anaesthesiologists and intensivists are regularly involved in the identification, resuscitation and management of adults with sepsis and septic shock. In November 2021, the Surviving sepsis campaign: international guidelines for management of sepsis and septic shock 2021 was published.4
The Clinical Practice Committee (CPC) of the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SSAI) decided to appraise this guideline for possible endorsement to guide Scandinavian anaesthesiologists and intensivists in the identification, resuscitation, and management of adults with sepsis and septic shock.
METHODS
The SSAI CPC assessed the guideline using the Appraisal of Guidelines for REsearch and Evaluation (AGREE) II tool,5 as per the outlined process for endorsement of non-SSAI guidelines.6
RESULTS
Five SSAI CPC members completed the appraisal. One member co-authored the guideline and was excluded from the evaluation, as per the SSAI endorsement process.6
The individual domain totals were: 1) scope and purpose 89%; 2) stakeholder involvement 92%; 3) rigor of development 81%; 4) clarity of presentation 89%; 5) applicability 73%; 6) editorial independence 85%; 7) overall assessment 87% (Figure 1).
