Antimicrobials administration time in patients with suspected sepsis: faster is better for severe patients

Abstract: In a recent report, Ascuntar et al. describes the impossibility to demonstrate a significant association between early antibiotic therapy administration and mortality in sepsis patients. Nevertheless, we believe that some methodological issues deserve their conclusions. First, the objective of the authors of an early antibiotic therapy may be ambitious considering practical daily emergency department limitation. Second, most of patients included in the study appear to suffer from sepsis and not from septic sho… Show more

“…Beyond all the study limits and strengths, the current results need to be confirmed by larger prospective multicentric studies because recent extensive meta-analyses and randomized trials do not find such benefits (20,51,52) despite controversies (53)(54)(55). Furthermore, the use of the "hour 1 bundle" for sepsis management remains under debate, especially for the Infectious Disease Society of America who no longer endorse the use of the "hour 1 bundle" (10).…”
