• Sommario/riassunto: Septic shock is a common and lethal condition that remains one of the leading causes of death in the hospital. Greater awareness, understanding of the condition and knowledge of effective ; management may decrease the mortality rate. In this book, the authors discuss the symptoms, management and risk factors of septic shock.
