Early antibiotics administration reduces mortality in sepsis patients in tertiary care hospital.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Early antibiotic administration is one of the core treatments of sepsis which associated with reduced mortality rate. However, the appropriate timing of antibiotics remains a controversial issue, especially in patients without septic shock. Here, we reported the outcomes of early antibiotic administration within one hour from the time of infection suspicion in a tertiary care hospital.

Methods

We reviewed the medical records and sepsis protocols in Chulabhorn Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand, from January 2021 to December 2023 for patients presenting with sepsis. We had our own sepsis protocol which we used for early detection and treatment of sepsis patients. We compared the 28-day mortality, 90-day mortality, and the length of stay between patients with time-to-ant
