Practice Guideline[Protocols for treatment of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome/severe sepsis combined of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine].
In 2003, European critical care experts have drafted surviving sepsis campaign (SSC) guidelines for therapy of sepsis, and it would be of practical use for the clinician, but case mortality of severe sepsis was expected to lower obviously. Our effort is to draft our guidelines of combining traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine as a supplement to SSC guidelines. ⋯ The present guidelines supplements some pertinent problems which were neglected in SSC guidelines for the management of MODS/severe sepsis, and they may hopefully improve the outcome of the critically ill patient. The guidelines will be updated when some important new knowledge becomes available.
