Abstract

Sepsis is a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality, especially in emergency settings. Despite decades of research, it continues to present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Early recognition and prompt, goal-directed therapy remain central to improving outcomes. This article reviews practical approaches to early sepsis identification using clinical scores such as qSOFA, NEWS2, and SIRS, and emphasizes rapid, protocol-driven intervention strategies suitable for emergency departments across resource-diverse settings.
