Intravenous fluid bolus with crystalloids: epinephrine to increase systemic vascular resistance, histamine blockers and steroids. Intubation to increase o2 consumption rate: central venous lines imperative to monitor central venous pressure, vasopressors used with hypotension, human activated protein c, inhibits thrombosis and inflammation and regulate coagulation to decrease sirs. Identify underlying cause: maintain airway, administer vasopressors, vasodilators, diuretics, and analgesics to improve cardiac output and decrease o2 demand, surgical intervention may be required. qsofa.
