Abstract
The combined approach of early goal-directed therapy, intensive insulin therapy, hydrocortisone administration, and additional application of rhAPC in selected cases seems to favorably influence outcome. The implementation of a "sepsis bundle" can be facilitated by a standardized protocol while significantly reducing the time until the defined therapeutic measures are realized in daily practice.
