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.

Why can two igneous rocks have the same minerals but different names?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The rocks may have different textures

Explanation:

If we have to igneous rocks, and they have the same minerals, that doesn't necessarily means that they will have the same name, thus being classified as the same rock. The reason for this is that the two igneous rocks may have a different texture. One of the rocks may have a foliated, while the other may have porphyritic, giving them different appearance despite the same minerals being in both of them. The reason why two igneous rocks with the same minerlas may appear different, is the process in which they have been formed, the quickness of the cooling, the temperature that they were exposed to, and the pressure they were exposed to.
