Sepsis in acute care settings

This case study-based training helps you quickly identify sepsis symptoms to allow faster treatment and better outcomes.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body’s response to infection causes widespread inflammation, leading to organ dysfunction. Early recognition and treatment are crucial to improving patient outcomes. Sepsis progresses rapidly and can lead to septic shock, organ failure, and death if not treated promptly. Studies show that each hour of delay in treatment increases mortality risk. Early detection allows for timely intervention, reducing complications and improving survival rates.

This session provides an overview of sepsis and presents a series of case studies to highlight different presentations in acute care and the recommended management strategies in line with UK’s National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidance.
