Influence of antibiotic therapy with hemodynamic optimization on 30-day mortality among septic shock patients cared for in the prehospital setting
2024, American Journal of Emergency MedicineAdequacy of probabilistic prehospital antibiotic therapy for septic shock
2022, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :In fact, it is well established that septic shock mortality and morbidity are lowered by earlier antibiotic therapy starting from either the in-hospital [32-34] or the prehospital setting [13]. Despite controversies [35], since 2004, international guidelines recommend starting antibiotic therapy within the first 3 h or even within the first 1 h if possible [8,25,36-39]. However, a consensual real T0 time for “1-h bundle” initiation is difficult to determine between studies because of difficulties in initial sepsis severity assessment.
