Sepsis and shock response team in the ED reduces mortality

(American College of Chest Physicians) Researchers from Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, formed a multidisciplinary sepsis and shock response team to help alert emergency department providers when these disorders are suspected. An automated electronic sepsis alarm for early recognition, followed by standardized multidisciplinary management of patients with suspected sepsis or shock with SSRT, improved the compliance with standard care measures and overall mortality.
