The goals for the treatment of<unk>  per the Surviving<unk>  Campaign include screening for high-risk patients; taking bacterial cultures soon after the patient arrived at the hospital; starting patients on broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotic therapy before the results of the cultures are obtained; identifying the source of infection and taking steps to control it (e.g., abscess drainage); administering intravenous fluids to correct a loss or decrease in blood volume; and maintaining glycemic (blood sugar) control. These and similar guidelines have been tested by a number of hospitals and have shown potential for decreasing hospital mortality due to<unk> . In addition, hospital length of stay may be shortened.
