Race against time: ambulance teams test aggressive sepsis treatment to save lives

NCT ID NCT02473263

Summary

This study tested whether starting aggressive treatment for severe sepsis immediately in ambulances could save lives. Emergency medical teams gave antibiotics and fluids to stabilize blood pressure right away, rather than waiting until patients reached the hospital. The goal was to see if this faster approach reduced deaths compared to standard care.
