Introduction: Sepsis is a life-threatening systemic inflammatory syndrome with a high mortality rate. Early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) is a structured therapy protocol that aims to improve tissue perfusion and oxygenation in sepsis patients.
Methods: This retrospective observational study analyzed data on sepsis patients in the ICU of a Cairo hospital, Egypt (2020-2023). Patient mortality was compared before and after the implementation of the EGDT protocol.
Results: Of the 220 sepsis patients, 120 were treated before and 100 after EGDT implementation. Patient mortality in the EGDT group was significantly lower (12% vs 25%, p<0.05).
Conclusion: Implementation of the EGDT protocol can reduce the mortality of sepsis patients in the hospital ICU in Cairo, Egypt.
