The Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) received funding for the initial phases of a project dedicated to reducing mortality from sepsis in low-resource settings. Phase 1 of the project will focus on better understanding the needs of those in low-resource settings through clinician surveys and focus groups, along with a literature review to determine available evidence of care and treatment in these settings. Phase 2 will focus on developing resources to help these areas, including revising the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines and existing implementation tools, developing new resources, and translating resources as needed.
