Early infectious diseases consultation is associated with a reduction in in-hospital mortality for patients receiving a severe sepsis and septic shock treatment bundle.

The WHO resolution, with its implicit recognition of sepsis as a major threat to patient safety and global health, has the potential to save millions of lives.

Significant reductions in time to antibiotics after implementation of guidelines in EDs.
A report released by the CDC suggests that many life-threatening cases of sepsis could be prevented with early detection and treatment.
