Abstract
We purpose combined criteria for the selection of sepsis patients. Initially, we could apply qSOFA (quick Sepsis Related Organ Failure Assessment) criteria, due to its easy application, associated with the SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome) criteria, allowing to select the patients who are infected and need faster treatment. In that way we would use the best of old and newest criteria, allowing the early selection of patients who are infected and require faster treatment, while the search for a better and faster tool continues.
