| Popis: | Purpose To estimate the effect of each of the EGDT components, as well as of the antibiotics, on length-of-stay and mortality. Methods Prospective cohort in three hospitals. Adult patients admitted by the Emergency Rooms (ER) with infection and any of systolic blood pressure 4 mmol/L. An instrumental analysis with hospital of admission as the instrumental variable was performed to estimate the effect of each intervention on hospital mortality and secondary outcomes. Results Among 2587 patients evaluated 884 met inclusion criteria, with a hospital mortality rate of 17% (n = 150). In the instrumental analysis, the only intervention associated with an absolute reduction in mortality (21%) was the use of antibiotics in the first 3 h. In patients with lactate values ≥4 mmol/L in the ER, a non-decrease of at least 10% at six hours was independently associated with mortality (OR = 3.1; 95%CI = 1.5–6.2). Conclusions Among patients entering ER with infection and shock or hypoperfusion criteria, the use of appropriate antibiotics in the first 3 h is the measure that has the greatest impact on survival. In addition, among patients with hyperlactatemia >4 mmol/L, the clearance of >10% of lactate during resuscitation is associated with better outcomes. |
