The goal is to find out how often effective antimicrobial therapy is delayed after the start of persistent or recurrent hypotension in septic shock and how this affects mortality.

Design: A cohort research that was conducted in retrospect between July 1989 and June 2004.

Setting: Ten hospitals (four academic, six community) and fourteen critical care units (four medical, four surgical, and six combined medical/surgical) located in Canada and the United States.

Patients: The 2,731 adult patients with septic shock listed in their medical records.

Measurements and key findings: Survival to hospital discharge served as the primary outcome indicator. A survival percentage of 79.9% was found when an antibiotic efficacious for isolated or suspected infections was administered within the first hour of verified hypotension. Over the following 6 hours, each hour of antibiotic delivery delay was linked to an average 7.6% decline in survival. When compared to obtaining treatment within the first hour after the beginning of persistent or recurrent hypotension, the in-hospital mortality rate was considerably higher by the second hour (odds ratio 1.67; 95% confidence range, 1.12-2.48). The single best predictor of outcome in multivariate analysis (which included Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score and treatment factors) was time to the start of effective antimicrobial therapy. It took 6 hours on average to start effective antimicrobial therapy (25-75th percentile, 2.0-15.0 hrs).

Conclusions: In adult patients with septic shock, effective antibiotic therapy during the first hour of confirmed hypotension was related with enhanced survival to hospital discharge. Only 50% of patients with septic shock got efficient antimicrobial therapy within 6 hours of being diagnosed with proven hypotension, despite a steady rise in fatality rate with increasing delays.

<h3>What is septic shock?</h3>

liberstina [14]
Dead mustard plants disintegrate into the soil And the worms in the soil see it and are like woah man let’s fricking rave! So these worms rave until the riff of dawn and the air gets so dense it just turns into nitrogen. The rave vibes were so lit that the nitrogen had this gold ora to it. The worms gathered it all and in a way, molded it into a seedling. They were like “ we gonna name it marigold cuz we had a pretty merry good time”. So yea science is wild isn’t it?

Which of the following is not a function of<br> Proteins
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:  

anything contrary to the information provided below

Explanation:

Proteins determine the shape and structure of cells and the direction of almost all vital processes. Protein functions are specific to each of them and allow cells to maintain their integrity, defense of external agents, damage repair, control and regular functions, etc. selective binding to molecules. Structural proteins agree with other molecules of the same protein to cause a larger structure. However, other proteins bind to different molecules: antibodies to specific antigens, hemoglobin to oxygen, enzymes to their substrates, regulators of genetic expression to DNA, hormones to their specific receptors, etc.

A student wants to find out if the amount of bleach has an effect on stain removal.
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The second option.

Explanation:

We're trying to test the amount of bleach that has an effect on the stain so that is the altered variable.

The 2nd option uses different amounts of bleach to clean the same amount of stain.

If you choose the other options, people can argue that the bigger stain would be harder to clean with one cup of bleach, whereas the small stain gets two cups or the other way around.

It's not an effective way to see if the amount of bleach has an effect on stain removal.
