Empiric Antibiotic Treatment Reduces Mortality in Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock From the First Hour: Results From a Guideline-Based Performance Improvement Program*

TL;DR: The results of the analysis of this large population of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock demonstrate that delay in first antibiotic administration was associated with increased in-hospital mortality, and there was a linear increase in the risk of mortality for each hour delay in antibiotic administration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surviving sepsis campaign: international guidelines for management of sepsis and septic shock 2021.

Laura Evans, +61 more
TL;DR: The Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations on the recognition and management of sepsis and its complications as discussed by the authors, which are either strong or weak, or in the form of best practice statements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2021.

Laura Evans, +59 more
TL;DR: The Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations on the recognition and management of sepsis and its complications as mentioned in this paper, which are either strong or weak, or in the form of best practice statements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multicenter study of early lactate clearance as a determinant of survival in patients with presumed sepsis.

TL;DR: In this multicenter cohort of sepsis patients, failing to clear lactate during resuscitation carried a high risk of death, and ScvO2 optimization did not reliably exclude lactate non-clearance, which provides rationale for a clinical trial of lactate clearance as a distinct end point of early sepsi resuscitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum lactate as a predictor of mortality in patients with infection

TL;DR: When broadly implemented in routine practice, measurement of lactate in patients with infection and possible sepsis can affect assessment of mortality risk and substantially increases the probability of acute-phase death.
