- Abstract
Sepsis is one of the leading causes of mortality, with more than 700,000 hospitalizations and 200,000 deaths annually. Various tools exist to aid in the early identification and treatment of sepsis, including electronic alert systems, standardized order sets, nurse-initiated protocols (NIPs) and specially trained teams. Despite available guidelines, mortality rates for severe sepsis and septic shock are near 50%.
