ABC of Sepsis
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Dec 2009, Pages: 104
The importance of early prevention and treatment of sepsis has never been greater. In the UK alone sepsis contributes to more deaths than lung cancer, from bowel cancer and breast cancer combined, and approximately one third of patients who suffer from severe sepsis die. The ABC of Sepsis provides a much needed introduction and an invaluable aid in the increasing efforts to reduce hospital infection and improve patient safety.
As growing numbers of junior medical staff experience emergency medicine, critical care and acute medicine as part of the Foundation Programme, there is an increasing need to develop the skills required to treat severe sepsis. The editors are involved with the Survive Sepsis campaign - developed to improve the recognition, diagnosis and treatment of sepsis - and are perfectly placed to guide junior medics, GPs, specialist nurses, critical care nurses and primary care staff through this core aspect of acute medicine.
Report Features:
- A much needed introduction to this important subject - a core aspect of acute medicine in the UK.
- Offers a basic introduction to sepsis for trainees and the MDT – a core aspect of acute medicine
- A timely subject due to current concerns regarding hospital infection and patient safety
- The authors are involved with the Surviving Sepsis campaign, developed to improve the management, diagnosis and treatment of sepsis
