Course Description

Sepsis is a complex, and many times fatal, disease. Many practitioners find the challenges of treating sepsis and reducing the likelihood of its complications as an impossible mission. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign developed several key strategies to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with sepsis.

This course is designed to assist nursing staff in realizing the importance of their position in identifying sepsis and helping the healthcare team get the patient the best care.
