Rebuttal From Drs Levy, Rhodes, and Evans

[摘要] In their piece suggesting the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines be retired, Marik et al¹ make several misleading statements. First, it is important to understand the differences between guidelines, bundles, clinical protocols, and performance measures, which are conflated as equivalent. Clinical practice guidelines follow a clearly defined methodology to make evidence-based recommendations. Bundles, which are derived from guidelines, are tools to facilitate implementation at the bedside with defined targets.
