Abstract:Background
Timely recognition of sepsis in emergency department (ED) is challenging. We evaluated the impact of implementing the biomarker monocyte distribution width (MDW) at bedside, on the time to anti-infective administration.
Methods
We conducted a before-and-after cohort study in the ED of an academic hospital in Paris, to compare sepsis patients care and outcomes, before and after the implementation of point of care (POC) MDW measurement in the ED. During post-im… Show more
