Lori, We use door (arrival) to needle time – so time to the start of the antibiotic. Similar to other treatment measures for thrombolysis (cardiac and stroke) and PCI
Heather McClelland Nurse Consultant - Emergency Care Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust Tel: 07766905556 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Muhr, Lori Sent: 21 September 2013 18:06 To: [email protected] Subject: [Sepsis Groups] Timing of Antibiotic Administration Warning this message contains links that it has not been possible to verify as safe. You should only click on the links if you are sure they are from a trusted source. I am wondering what everyone else is using for their antibiotic time. Is it when it is initiated, while it is infusing, or after it is infused? We had a lively discussion in our Sepsis meeting this week with each Physician stating an argument for the different timeframes. I am looking to see what you are doing at your facility.
