Abstract

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that can lead to organ dysfunction and death. Early appropriate management based on current evidence-based practice is important. This article aims to review the literature on sepsis, the effects of sepsis, sepsis management guidelines, and nurses’ role in management of sepsis following the surviving sepsis campaign guidelines 2021. Nurses are important for taking care of patients with sepsis following the surviving sepsis campaign guidelines 2021 which include screening, sepsis management, blood culture, antibiotics administration, blood lactate, septic shock management, fluid resuscitation, vasopressor administration, and evaluating the effect of treatment following the guidelines, in order to care for and manage patients with sepsis appropriately to reduce sepsis complications and mortality.
