Sepsis Management: Fighting Infections, Saving Lives
Summary
More than one million Americans suffer from severe sepsis annually, leading to high mortality rates and high treatment costs for hospitals. According to one report of inpatient hospital deaths, mortality decreased for many diagnoses, such as respiratory failure, stroke, or heart disease, sepsis related deaths rose 17% during the same period.
Sepsis is difficult to identify due to symptoms that are similar to colds, flus, or general viruses. This makes diagnosis tricky; unfortunately, early intervention is the key to treating sepsis, saving lives, and cutting treatment costs. Due to all these complexities, managing sepsis in the most effective manner possible should be a top priority. This webinar focuses on:
- The need for the most up-to-date sepsis management plans
