Article Synopsis
- Sepsis is a serious condition often leading to emergency room visits, with concerns about how staffing levels during off-hours may impact fluid administration for patients in need.
- A study analyzed fluid volume differences between patients admitted during routine hours vs. off-hours, focusing on a group of 734 patients with suspected infections over a short period in early 2020.
- Results showed that while total fluid volumes within 24 hours were similar regardless of admission time, off-hour sepsis patients received more intravenous fluids in the first 6 hours, but both sepsis and simple infection patients received less oral fluid if admitted during off-hours.
