Hospital sepsis protocols

Hospital sepsis protocols are set procedures designed to quickly identify and treat sepsis, a serious body response to infection that can cause organ failure. These protocols include prompt assessment of symptoms, immediate blood tests, and early administration of antibiotics and fluids. They also involve continuous monitoring of vital signs and organ function. The goal is to recognize sepsis early, start treatment swiftly, and prevent its progression. Following these steps helps improve patient outcomes, reduce complications, and save lives by ensuring timely, standardized care across healthcare providers.
