Figure 2. Completion of Surviving Sepsis Campaign 6 hour Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle Elements for Patients Randomized to the Electronic Tool (study intervention) versus Usual Care (control).
Proportion of patients for whom indicated bundle elements were completed over the 6 hours after enrollment. Lactate measurement, CVP measurement, and antibiotic administration were considered indicated in all patients during their first 6 hours in the ICU. Blood cultures were considered indicated in all patients but deemed completed at enrollment if obtained in the 6 hours prior to enrollment. Fluid bolus administration and vasopressor administration were considered indicated only in patients who met the hemodynamic criteria for each intervention as specified in the SSC 6-hr Resuscitation Bundle. There was no difference between the electronic tool and usual care with regard to time to completion of the SSC 6-hr Resuscitation Bundle elements.
