Implications of the sepsis-3 definition on nursing research and practice

Abstract

In February 2016, the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine announced a striking change in the sepsis definition. The new definition, known as Sepsis-3, replaces the SIRS criteria with the SOFA Score. This presentation will discuss the implications of this radical change.
