Course overview

Sepsis is a complex disease state that rapidly causes severe complications and has a high mortality rate, especially if not treated promptly. It requires healthcare professionals from different disciplines to work together to care for the patient. This continuing education program provides definitions and recommendations for management strategies from the most recent guidelines on sepsis. The goal of this continuing education program is to provide healthcare professionals, including emergency medical service (EMS) personnel, nurses, physicians, and pharmacists, with the updated definitions related to sepsis, as well as information regarding the management of septic patients.
