And sepsis-3 redefined septic shock as “hypotension not responsive to fluid resuscitation” with the added requirement of vasopressors to maintain a MAP greater than or equal to 65 and with a lactate > 2. Sepsis is coming in at a higher readmission rate and cost per admission than acute MI, CHF, COPD, and PNA.
