The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (Sepsis-3).
- M. Singer, C. Deutschman, D. Angus
- MedicineJAMA
- 23 February 2016
The task force concluded the term severe sepsis was redundant and updated definitions and clinical criteria should replace previous definitions, offer greater consistency for epidemiologic studies and clinical trials, and facilitate earlier recognition and more timely management of patients with sepsi or at risk of developing sepsic shock.

Although a significant number of aspects of care have relatively weak support, evidence-based recommendations regarding the acute management of sepsis and septic shock are the foundation of improved outcomes for these critically ill patients with high mortality.
Evaluation of delirium in critically ill patients: Validation of the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU)

- 1 July 2001
The CAM-ICU demonstrated excellent reliability and validity when used by nurses and physicians to identify delirium in intensive care unit patients and may be a useful instrument for both clinical and research purposes to monitor deliria in this challenging patient population.
Delirium in mechanically ventilated patients: validity and reliability of the confusion assessment method for the intensive care unit (CAM-ICU).
The CAM-ICU appears to be rapid, valid, and reliable for diagnosing delirium in the ICU setting and may be a useful instrument for both clinical and research purposes.

Multiple organ dysfunction score: a reliable descriptor of a complex clinical outcome.

- MedicineCritical Care Medicine
- 1 October 1995
This multiple organ dysfunction score, constructed using simple physiologic measures of dysfunction in six organ systems, mirrors organ dysfunction as the intensivist sees it and correlates strongly with the ultimate risk of ICU mortality and hospital mortality.
Delirium as a predictor of mortality in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit.

- 14 April 2004
Delirium was an independent predictor of higher 6-month mortality and longer hospital stay even after adjusting for relevant covariates including coma, sedatives, and analgesics in patients receiving mechanical ventilation.
Monitoring sedation status over time in ICU patients: reliability and validity of the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS).
- E. Ely, B. Truman, G. Bernard
- MedicineJAMA
- 11 June 2003
This is the first sedation scale to be validated for its ability to detect changes in sedation status over consecutive days of ICU care, against constructs of level of consciousness and delirium, and correlated with the administered dose of sedative and analgesic medications.
Efficacy and safety of recombinant human activated protein C for severe sepsis.

- MedicineNew England Journal of Medicine
- 2001
Treatment with drotrecogin alfa activated significantly reduces mortality in patients with severe sepsis and may be associated with an increased risk of bleeding.
