The new Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guideline was substantially revised in 2021. These updated recommendations are intended to guide intensivists in providing adequate care to adult patients with sepsis or septic shock. In particular, the current SSC guideline emphasizes early recognition and stringent management in the first hours after the onset of sepsis. In particular, the implementation of acute interventions should help to improve the chances of survival of sepsis patients.This article summarizes the most important recommendations for acute therapy and presents them as a comparative overview to the previous SSC guideline and the German S3 guideline. This should allow the reader to adopt the knowledge from the new guideline into clinical practice as quickly as possible in order to improve the quality of treatment of patients with sepsis or septic shock.
