HAS Recommendations

In collaboration with the French Health Authority, the FHU SEPSIS handles the secretarial duties of the working group in charge of drafting recommendations on sepsis that will be HAS certified. These recommendations will focus on the care management of newborns, children and adults with sepsis (before, during and after the acute phase).

The working group includes representatives from several learned societies:

• Collège national des généralistes enseignants (Family Medicine)
• Groupe de pathologies infectieuses pédiatriques (Pediatric Infections)
• Groupe francophone de réanimation et urgences pédiatriques (Pediatric ICU and Emergency)
• Société de pathologie infectieuse de langue française (Infections)
• Société de réanimation de langue française (ICU)
• Société française d’anesthésie réanimation (Anesthesia)
• Société française d’hygiène hospitalière (Hospital Hygiene)
• Société française de gériatrie et gérontologie (Geriatrics and Gerontology)
• Société française de médecine d’urgence (Emergency Medicine)
• Société française de médecine physique et de réadaptation (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)
• Société française de microbiologie (Microbiology)
• Société française de mycologie médicale (Medical Mycology)
• Société française de néonatologie (Neonatology)
• Société française de pédiatrie (Pediatrics)
• Société française de santé publique (Public Health)

France Sepsis Association, a patient association, is also a part of the working group.

Started in 2021, regular meetings between the members of the working group have been organized. The members have written a guidance note, which has been validated by the HAS. The bibliographic review is in progress. The objective is to submit these recommendations to the HAS commission at the beginning of 2023.
