Abstract

The early recognition and rapid start of goal-directed treatment (EGDT) are important elements for better outcome in severe sepsis. These actions should take place in the emergency department (ED) before admission to the ICU. The aim of our study was to determine how the EGDT was performed and to evaluate the impact of EGDT principles on mortality in septic shock in Finland. Our study was conducted before national guidelines for severe sepsis were published.
