    abstract = "Intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) are common surgical emergencies and
have been reported as major contributors to non-trauma deaths in
hospitals worldwide. The cornerstones of effective treatment of IAIs
include early recognition, adequate source control, appropriate
antimicrobial therapy, and prompt physiologic stabilization using a
critical care environment, combined with an optimal surgical approach.
Together, the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES), the Global
Alliance for Infections in Surgery (GAIS), the Surgical Infection
Society-Europe (SIS-E), the World Surgical Infection Society (WSIS), and
the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) have jointly
completed an international multi-society document in order to facilitate
clinical management of patients with IAIs worldwide building
evidence-based clinical pathways for the most common IAIs. An extensive
non-systematic review was conducted using the PubMed and MEDLINE
databases, limited to the English language. The resulting information
was shared by an international task force from 46 countries with
different clinical backgrounds. The aim of the document is to promote
global standards of care in IAIs providing guidance to clinicians by
describing reasonable approaches to the management of IAIs."
