Abstract

Sepsis continues to be one of the most substantial costs to hospitals, both in terms of cost of life and significant financial burden. Septic shock, defined by the requirement of vasopressor support, is the most severe form of sepsis with a significantly high rate of morbidity and mortality. Patients with septic shock requiring vasopressor support necessitate intensive care unit (ICU) admission. This study evaluates frequency of ICU versus general care (GC) admission and outcomes in patients with septic shock that were managed in an emergency department-based ICU (ED-ICU).
