Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age ≥18yr
  • Informed consent
  • Sepsis (with an onset ≤24h): Patients with a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to a suspected or proven infection. Organ dysfunction can be identified as an acute change in total SOFA score ≥2 points consequent to the infection. Patients can also be promptly identified at the bedside with qSOFA, ie, alteration in mental status, systolic blood pressure ≤100mmHg, or respiratory rate ≥22/min.
  • or Septic shock (with an onset ≤24h): Patients with septic shock can be identified with a clinical construct of sepsis with persisting hypotension requiring vasopressors to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥65mmHg and having a serum lactate level \>2mmol/L (18mg/dL) despite adequate volume resuscitation.

Exclusion

  • Age ≤18yr
  • Refusal to give consent
  • Patient will probably be discharged from the ICU within the first 72h following inclusion
  • Palliative treatment intent
