One Hour Sepsis Bundle
Morgan Curry

Author: Morgan Curry
BSN, RN

Sepsis is now the # 1 killer of hospitalized patients in America. Worldwide it is the # 1 cause of pediatric deaths, especially in developing countries. Strategies to reduce mortality have been successful in decreasing mortality and the Surviving Sepsis Campaign has been at the forefront of the war against sepsis. In 2018 the Surviving Sepsis Campaign changed the goal time-frame for initiating interventions from 3-6 hours to 1 hour. In this module we will discuss the new bundle and strategies to reduce treatment time and ensure standardization.
