The Race Against Time - Sepsis Protocol

Abstract

Sepsis, the leading cause of death in hospitals nationwide, presents a significant challenge in healthcare settings.8, 10 Recent data from an academic regional hospital revealed 42 cases of mortality out of 264 septic patients, with a 0% compliance rate in using the sepsis bundle in the Trauma ICU. A positive correlation between low compliance and lack of nursing knowledge regarding sepsis bundle timeframe was identified. In response, an educational initiative was implemented by a senior IUS nursing student to improve compliance rates. This poster will present the education plan, assessment of prior knowledge, learning materials, and evaluation of results.
