No. There is nowhere in the algorithm to enter the time of infection documentation. It simply requires antibiotics to be given within 24 hours before and 3 hours after severe sepsis time.
From: Sepsisgroups [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Davis, Diana Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2017 9:45 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Sepsis Groups] Source documentation/antibiotic Good morning: Hope someone can clarify this for me. We are discussion at about the timing of the documentation of a source of infection/ or documented infection. Does the source or suspected/likely source of infection need to be documented before the administration of an antibiotic? And if it is not will this cause the measure to fail?
