Severe Sepsis group,

 

I have an abstraction question.

 

If a patient initially does not present as a Severe Sepsis upon arrival to the 
ED, but hours later meets the SIRS criteria, do you count the start time for 
the 3 hour bundle as:

 

1. Time of arrival 
or

2. Time pt presented with symptoms - Time of presentation (TOP)

 

Thank you, Troy
