Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of treatment procedures for septic shock in patients with pneumonia treated in emergency medical services. The methodological approach involved a descriptive and qualitative literature review, consulting sources such as Scielo, Google Scholar and PubMed, from 1996 to 2024. The specific objectives included the description of the pathophysiological mechanisms, the analysis of the therapeutic protocols, the evaluation of the use of corticosteroids, the investigation of the role of the multidisciplinary team, and the verification of the importance of biomarkers in early diagnosis. The results underscore the need for personalized approaches to treatment, given individual variation in response to therapies. The conclusion highlights that in-depth knowledge and careful management of protocols are essential to improve compliance with therapeutic guidelines and patients' quality of life. Future research should focus on innovative therapies and explore in more depth predictive markers of risk, as well as evaluate the efficacy of complementary therapies such as corticosteroids.
