Effect of early goal directed therapy in the treatment of severe sepsis and/or septic shock: A meta-Analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: EGDT helped in the mortality reduction in patients with severe sepsis and/or septic shock in the past years. With the progression in the management of this disease and mortality reduction in this disease, especially that some EGDT ingredients have been involved in usual care, the benefit of EGDT on overall mortality reduced to the comparable level as the usual care for sepsis patients. A more strict RCT is need to confirm the role of EGDT in the current clinical practice. PMID: 27348416 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
