THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SEPSIS IN PATIENTS WITH INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS

Abstract

Sepsis is a critical medical condition that results from the body's inadequate response to an infection, leading to potentially life-threatening organ dysfunction. This study focuses on the management of sepsis in patients with infective endocarditis, a rare but serious infection that has a high rate of complications and mortality. Analysis of the data from this systematic review indicated that the combination of antimicrobial therapy and surgical interventions can significantly improve clinical outcomes. In addition, early identification of pathogens and appropriate choice of antibiotics have been identified as crucial to the effectiveness of treatment. Collaboration between different medical specialties proved to be essential for effective management, providing a multidisciplinary approach that integrates clinical and surgical care. The results of this review provide valuable insights for clinical practice, underscoring the need for evidence-based protocols to optimize the treatment of sepsis in infective endocarditis and thus improve health outcomes for affected patients.
