So it’s always interesting to unpack a new set of guidelines, and while we were not overly optimistic, we were still a bit surprised about the (lack of) evolution for the 2026 edition of Surviving Sepsis. Firstly would like to acknowledge the tremendous amount of work and organization by the SSG which have greatly contributed to awareness of sepsis and in that way certainly saved many lives.

In this set, the first thing we glitched on was a particulat statement about MAP, which we felt was, physiologically, simply incorrect. So we had a chat about it today.

We have a lot more to unpack but we’re putting that in an article that we’ll be submitting by next week.

Of course, if you like our bedside physiology way of approaching patients as we eschew one-size-fits-all, there is no better place to learn bedside diagnostic skills and physiological reasoning as HR. Join us in Montreal next september!

cheers
