Lower Sepsis Rates in Hospitals Linked to Nusing, Intensivist Staffing
Greater nurse staffing and intensivist hours are associated with significantly lower rates of sepsis.

Early Hydrocortisone Use in Septic Shock May Improve Outcomes
For patients with vasopressor-dependent septic shock, early hydrocortisone use is associated with improved outcomes.
Additional Presentations of Ready-to-Use Premixed Vancomycin Bags Approved
The new doses of Vanco Ready include 150mL, 250mL, and 350mL premixed bags containing 750mg, 1.25g, and 1.75g of vancomycin, respectively.
Strategies Needed to Prevent Sepsis in Newborns
A team of investigators conducted a 2-year prospective cohort study to assess the incidence of and outcomes associated with sepsis in newborns.
IDSA Provides Suggestions to Further Improve Medicare/Medicaid Sepsis Core Measure
IDSA has outlined several recommendations aimed at reducing the risk forunintended consequences of the Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Early Management Bundle.
Fluid and Vasopressor Resuscitation Improves Sepsis-Associated Hypotension
The use of physiologically informed fluid and vasopressor resuscitation with passive leg raise–induced stroke volume change is safe for guiding the personalized management of sepsis-associated hypotension and shock.
Examining the Association Between Septic Shock Mortality and Early Antibiotic Use
Patients with septic shock who were administered antibiotics within an hour of onset had decreased in-hospital mortality rates.
Obesity Confers Longer Ventilator Use, Increased Risk for ARDS in Sepsis
In patients with sepsis admitted to the ICU who were classified as obese experienced longer durations of ventilator use and had a higher risk for ARDS compared with patients with a normal BMI.
HAT Therapy in Sepsis May Reduce Time to Resolution of Shock
In patients who are admitted to the ICU for the management of sepsis, the coadministration of hydrocortisone, ascorbic acid, and thiamine was safe and reduced the time to resolution of shock.
Vitamin C, Hydrocortisone, Thiamine Not Superior to Hydrocortisone Alone for Septic Shock
For patients with septic shock, treatment with intravenous vitamin C, hydrocortisone, and thiamine did not significantly improve the duration of survival and free of vasopressor administration over 7 days.
