Cardiovascular collapse is not what the MD's should be waiting for- you want to identify the patient before they are in compensated shock, certainly before they decompensate with hypotension. Identifying the patient when organ dysfunction is noted while the patient is stable is the best opportunity to improve outcomes in the severe sepsis population.

I have not found any research to support this approach. Any information I can share with them to bring them along would be welcome.

If the SIRS criteria are met at triage then that is time zero. Should the patient for example have just tachycardia noted in triage and the WBC count comes back elevated that is time zero.

In the UK, this is far from the case and I would urge organizations not to measure only the performance of their ED and ITU (if there is no reliable temporal relationship between ward-based onset and ICU admission, this will ultimately have the effect of demonstrating non-efficacy of EGDT anyway).
