Background: IV fluids are part of the standard resuscitation bundle in septic shock, however it is unclear if they provide a significant benefit. The goal of the trial was to see if early vasopressors improved shock control by 6 hours. This resulted in better shock control by 6hrs (76.1% Liberal: 14.9%

The paramedic notes called STEMI into question: “EMS disagree with monitor for STEMI callout. With both EMS and ED computer interpretations reading ‘STEMI’, the emergency physician activated the cath lab. Comparing J-point between leads noted no significant ST elevation or depression, with QRS prolongation from RBBB.”

A large observational study of > 2000 patients found an association with fever at presentation and ICU survival for patients with severe sepsis or septic shock ( Sunden-Culberg 2017 ). Importantly, all of the patients in this study had septic shock requiring vasopressors and mechanical ventilation.
