Abstract

Septic shock is a significant crisis condition of patients who experience severe infection and develop a systemic response to inflammation of the body. The progression of septic shock is rapid and leads to high morbidity. The patient with crisis septic shock must be diagnosed quickly at an early stage and must receive the care that can help them to recover safely from the incidence of shock. The registered nurse is a key person to provide care to crisis septic shock patients by using the nursing process including assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, intervention, and evaluation, as well as cooperating with a multidisciplinary team, and particularly physicians. Therefore, nurses should have appropriate knowledge and be able to care for patients with septic shock correctly to reduce the severity of the symptoms. Consequently, the patient is safe from the critical stage. This article aims to review the current knowledge of septic shock in order to help nurses to provide care based on the correct body of knowledge that will help the patient to remain safe from septic shock.
