Open Access Abstract Introduction Early structured resuscitation of severe sepsis has been suggested to improve short term mortality however no previous study has examined the long-term effect of this therapy. We sought to determine one year outcomes associated with implementation of early goal directed therapy EGDT in the emergency department ED care of sepsis. Methods We performed a longitudinal analysis of a prospective before and after study conducted at a large urban ED. Adult patients were enrolled if they had suspected infection 2 or more systemic inflammatory response criteria and either systolic blood pressure SBP 90 mmHg after a fluid bolus or lactate 4 mM. Exclusion criteria were age 18 years no aggressive care desired or need for immediate surgery. Clinical and outcomes data were prospectively collected on consecutive eligible patients for 1 year before and 2 years after implementing EGDT. Patients in the pre-implementation phase
