Rapid Response System Improves Sepsis Bundle Compliances and Survival in Hospital Wards for 10 Years.

ABSTRACT: Hospitalized patients can develop septic shock at any time. Therefore, it is important to identify septic patients in hospital wards and rapidly perform the optimal treatment. Although the sepsis bundle has already been reported to improve survival rates, the controversy over evidence of the effect of in-hospital sepsis continues to exist. We aimed to estimate the outcomes and bundle compliance of patients with septic shock in hospital wards managed through the rapid response system (RRS). A retrospective cohort study of 976 patients with septic shock managed through the RRS at an academic, tertiary care hospital in Korea from 2008 to 2017. Of the 976 enrolled patients, the compliance of each sepsis bundle was high (80.8-100.0%), but the overall success rate of the bundle was low (58.3%).
