Sepsis represents a frequent occurrence in the emergency department and a leading cause of admissions to intensive care units as well as mortality. Early management of sepsis and septic shock is pivotal for patient prognosis. Given that the Emergency Department (ED) serves as the initial point of contact for septic patients, emergency physicians hold a fundamental role in the early stages of patient care, involving accurate initial diagnosis, resuscitation, and prompt treatment. Assessing the patient’s volume status, optimal hemodynamic resuscitation, and monitoring the patient's response are critical aspects of sepsis management in the emergency department. Close monitoring of vital signs, laboratory parameters, and treatment response is vital for guiding subsequent management decisions. Collaboration with other specialties such as critical care, infectious disease, and surgery is often necessary for comprehensive management of septic patients. Timely recognition and intervention in the ED can significantly influence patient outcomes and alleviate the burden of sepsis-related morbidity and mortality. Hence, continuous education and training of emergency physicians in sepsis management are essential for enhancing patient care and outcomes.
