Sepsis Management
The complete implementation of a sepsis bundle can help lower the risk of mortality associated with sepsis by 31%6
In an ideal world, all sepsis cases in your institution would be diagnosed rapidly and accurately in order to enable the best treatment management decision.
But in the current state 37% is the mean mortality rate of sepsis in ICUs1
15% of patients in ICUs have severe sepsis, 2/3 are septic shocks2
Sepsis mortality increases by 7.6% per hour3
Beyond the high morbidity and cost, sepsis impacts the hospitals' reputation and lead to litigation. The challenges to managing sepsis lie the implementation clinical practice–based measures (evidence-based practice interventions)5 and in timely initiation of appropriate targeted antibiotherapy.
