Audit of strategies to improve sepsis management in emergency departments
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: Severe sepsis results in ~36,800 UK deaths each year [ 1 ]. Prior studies demonstrate the benefit of early recognition and treatment of sepsis in reducing mortality [ 2 ]. The Sepsis Six [ 1 ] bundle aims to optimise the first hour of sepsis management. We assessed the proportion of emergency department (ED) patients with severe sepsis receiving the Sepsis Six bundle and whether this was improved by a combination of staff education and use of Sepsis Six management stickers in patient notes.
