Does anybody know what the actual CMS rule is? Thanks C Mascioli MD, MMC ,Oak Ridge Tn ________________________________ From: Sepsisgroups [[email protected]] on behalf of Savino, Terri [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, May 08, 2015 8:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Sepsis Groups] Fluid resuscitation I was wondering if anyone could clarify what time CMS is looking for fluid administration? It looks like to me they want the time it was hung (appropriate order for fluid resuscitation), but isn't it important to know the time the 30ml/kg are infused, not when they are hung? What time does the surviving sepsis campaign use? Thank you in advance for your response.
