Prerequisites
Before commencing this session you should complete:
- Venous Blood Gases Analysis (001-0261)

Sepsis is a medical emergency.
Timely intervention with appropriate, simple measures has been shown to reduce mortality in this syndrome with high in-hospital mortality.
The approach that is explained in this session has been used by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign [1](read details regarding the reference) and Survive Sepsis UK [2](read details regarding the reference). This has been incorporated into a number of 'bundles'.
