Article Abstract
Background: Surgical sepsis is a syndrome occurring during the perioperative period with a high mortality rate. Since the one-hour bundle protocol was recommended to decrease sepsis-related morbidity and mortality in clinical practice, the protocol has been applied to surgical patients with sepsis and septic shock. However, clinical outcomes in these surgical patients remain unknown. Thus, this study aimed to compare survival outcomes in patients before and after the implementation of one-hour bundle care in clinical practice.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 401 surgical patients with sepsis were divided into two groups, with 195 patients undergoing the one-hour bundle from December 25, 2021, to March 31, 2024, and 206 patients undergoing usual care from January 1, 2018, to December 24, 2021, before the one-hour bundle protocol was implemented by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC). Demographic data, treatment processes, and clinical outcomes were recorded.
Results: After the one-hour bundle protocol was applied in surgical practice, the median survival time was significantly increased in surgical patients who underwent one-hour bundle care (95% confidence interval (CI): 12.32-19.68) (p= 0.016). Factors influencing the increase in the mortality rate were delays in fluid resuscitation of >2 hours, vasopressor initiation of >2 hours, and empirical antibiotics of >5 hours (p= 0.017, 0.028, and 0.008, respectively).
Conclusion: One-hour bundle care for surgical patients with sepsis resulted in an increased median survival time. Delays in fluid resuscitation (>2 hours), vasopressor initiation (>2 hours), and empirical antibiotics (>5 hours) were factors associated with mortality.

A gentleman in his 80s presented to the hospital with several hours of ongoing, dull-aching chest pain radiating to his left arm. The initial electrocardiogram (ECG) showed atrial fibrillation (AF), bifascicular block (right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left anterior fascicular block), and concordant 0.5 mm ST-segment elevation in leads V1-V3.

Objective: To study the performance of temporal thermometry across race and ethnicity, and its impact on the initiation of the sepsis management bundle (SEP-1).
Unlabelled: Policy Points Despite the growing role of managed care organizations (MCOs) in financing and delivering behavioral health services in Medicaid, little is known about MCO strategies to overcome critical access barriers and the factors influencing these strategies. Through semistructured interviews of 27 administrators and executives across 19 local, regional, and national Medicaid MCOs, we describe a number of reported approaches to enhance behavioral health access: 1) contracting with core groups of Medicaid-focused behavioral health providers to provide a substantial share of care, and 2) targeted strategies to enhance the existing workforce through outreach, training, and workforce support programs; rate enhancements; telehealth and mobile unit care models; and high-touch case management. Findings highlight MCO perspectives on barriers and facilitators of access to behavioral health care, as well potential strategies that hold promise for other MCOs.

Article Synopsis
- About 62.3% of critically ill patients admitted for sepsis developed acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) during their hospital stay.
- The study found that severe SA-AKI significantly increased the risk of in-hospital mortality among these patients.
- Proper hydration and fluid resuscitation within the first hour of treatment were linked to lower mortality rates in patients with severe SA-AKI.

Department of surgery, College of Public Health and Medical Sciences, Jimma University, Jimma, ETH.
Article Synopsis
- * A study at Jimma University Medical Centre in Ethiopia from April to October 2023 included 61 surgical patients with septic shock, where the majority were male, and common infection sources included community-acquired and intra-abdominal infections.
- * The findings revealed an alarming 30-day mortality rate of 80.3%, with most patients undergoing surgery for source control within 24 hours, highlighting a significant gap in adherence to recommended septic shock management practices.
