The patients with APACHE II score greater than 15 accounted for (57.6 ± 23.2)%. In the course of treatment for septic shock patient,their 3h/6h bundle treatment completion rate was (57.0 ± 39.1)% and (57.0 ± 37.8)% respectively. Actual mortality of Hebei ICUs was(21.2 ± 16.5)%,and their unplanned tracheal intubation rate was (7.9 ± 7.7)%.
