Sepsis is a common, expensive, frequently fatal and highly complex inflammatory syndrome wherein multiple cellular and humoral pathways are involved. Since it's a multifactorial syndrome merely blocking one of the various inflammatory pathways may not suffice to provide effective treatment and this may partly explain why most of the adjunctive therapies developed for severe sepsis have yielded disappointing results in rigorous clinical trials. Statins have varied pleiotropic effects on the inflammatory mediators and there addition to the current adjuvant therapies in septic shock may help in reduction of mortality. The present trial aims to study survival benefit and changes in bio-marker levels in septic shock.
