Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening condition, triggered by any infection, but most commonly occurs in response to bacterial infections of the lungs, urinary tract, abdominal organs or skin and soft tissues. Caught early, outcomes are excellent. Left unchecked, the patient is likely to spiral to multi-organ failure, septic shock and death. Each year it is responsible for the deaths of at least 44,000 people in the UK.

Once identified, the Sepsis Six provides an operational solution to a set of complex, yet robust guidelines developed by the International Surviving Sepsis Campaign...

  • Give O2 to keep SATS above 94%
  • Take blood cultures
  • Give IV antibiotics

  • Measure lactate
  • Measure urine output
