Gaps and Strategies for Management of Sepsis in Low-Resource Settings: Expert Consensus Statements Using a Delphi Method

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to identify gaps in sepsis management and develop strategies tailored for low-resource settings (LRS), where the majority of sepsis cases occur but where resources are limited. Using a Delphi method, an international panel of experts reached consensus on 58 clinical practice statements focused on improving prevention, early recognition, and comprehensive management of sepsis in these settings. The findings highlight the need for further research to enhance sepsis care in LRS, while providing immediate guidance that complements existing international guidelines.
