Rivers, E, B Nguyen, S Havstad, J Ressler, A Muzzin, B Knoblich, E Peterson, and M Tomlanovich. "Early Goal-Directed Therapy in the Treatment of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock." The New England Journal of Medicine. 345.19 (2001): 1368-77. Print.
This study examines the benefits of early treatment for sepsis and septic shock in emergency room medicine and intensive care units. Researchers randomly assigned septic patients to either an experimental group or a control group; patients in the experimental group received early goal directed therapy before being admitted to the ICU while the control group received standard therapy before being admitted to the ICU. Ultimately researchers concluded that early goal directed therapy for sepsis had the potential to decrease patients’ chances for experiencing multi-organ dysfunction or death.
This article is important to my project because it showcases the importance of experimental methodology in medical writing. The organization of the article and its word choice suggest that its purpose is to quickly and clearly convey information to medical professionals. The impetus of the article—to investigate ways to decrease patient mortality—also demonstrates the profession’s continuing need to better itself by discovering new ways to treat illness and disease.
