Sepsis is one of the serious illnesses leading to high mortality in ICU.Some animal experiments and clinical trails show that target temperature management has a protective effect on target organ function in sepsis,but the optimal timing,length of targeted temperature managment continued,intervention measures,and optimal target temperature obtained in sepsis remains in the great controversy.Whether the patients with sepsis would be truly benefited from the body temperature management is still worthy issue for further study.The aim of this article reviews is to trace the recent research progress on the body temperature management in sepsis.
