- Abstract
Sepsis remains one of the four main causes of maternal mortality. Common causes of severe sepsis & septic shock during pregnancy include pyelonephritis, infection during labour and peurpurium & respiratory infection. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) is a global effort to improve the care of patients with sepsis and septic shock, first published in 2004. SSC is a multidisciplinary approach to treatment of sepsis based on 2 phases: Resuscitation phase & Management phase. In a critically ill pregnant woman, birth of the baby may be considered if it would be beneficial to the mother or the baby or to both.
