Early compliance with the sepsis resuscitation bundle has been suggested to reduce mortality. However, few data are available about impact of late on outcomes. The aim this study was assess whether completion within first 6 h after admission intensive care unit (ICU), but beyond specific time limit various interventions, is related an improvement in survival. This prospective, cohort included 753 patients recruited from September 2005 until August 2010 severe sepsis/septic shock three...
