Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2015 10:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Sepsis Groups] crystalloid fluid volume Good Morning, Would someone please direct me to the rationale for administering the volume of 30mL/kg for all patients in septic shock? I am working with a physician on sepsis bundle implementation, and he is concerned that this volume could be too much for some patients. He is requesting to see the evidence/rationale for this decision before he will approve our standing orders. Thanks, Kelli Hurn, RN, CPHQ Quality Specialist OSF Saint Anthony's Health Center Alton, Il 62002 p 618-474-6447| f 618-465-1740 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> "Serving with the Greatest Care and Love." ==================== The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
