Maureen Seckel: Sepsis Guidelines Update
Sepsis affects over 30 million people worldwide every year with high morbidity and mortality. Knowledge of the best evidence-based practice for sepsis care is crucial for all healthcare professionals. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock were recently updated in 2021 with 93 recommendations for practice in 6 categories. This talk will review the background of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign and their goal in decreasing sepsis mortality. Along with a brief discussion of the recent 2021 guideline methodology, the recommendations most directly relevant to nursing practice will be outlined. Additional resources to sepsis care will also be provided. To watch the lecture, and learn more about the speaker, please visit https://www.continulus.com
