چکیده
Methods A retrospective review of 91 patients with sepsis treated with antibiotics, IV fluids and NE for hypotension. Data on HDUand 30-day mortality, standardized mortality ratio (SMR) as well as adverse events (necrosis and arrhythmia) were collected. The route of administration of fluids and NE, via peripheral venous catheter (PVC) or central venous catheter (CVC), was registered. All patients were monitored with pulse oximetry, a 3-point ECG and had blood pressure measured non-invasively. Nurse:patient ratio was ≥ 1:3 in the HDU.
