Activity Steps
Description
Audio Session and Presentation Slides from National Conference for Nurse Practitioners 2019
Mortality rates from sepsis are estimated to be between 30 percent and 50 percent. The Surviving Sepsis Guidelines were developed to offer informed, evidence-based recommendations for clinician consideration to improve care and outcomes in patients who develop sepsis. This presentation will discuss what is new in the guidelines, the epidemiology of sepsis, the bundles, and what you need to know to care for a septic patient. We will also highlight key points with a case-based study.
