Description of CME Course
Sepsis remains a time-critical emergency. As with stroke, trauma and heart attack, the identification and response to sepsis should be urgent and protocol-based. This course discusses how mortality has been reduced where multidisciplinary hospital teams have implemented screening tools, standardized order sets, and early goal-directed therapy in the ED, ICU and on medical floors.
