ESSENTIALS OF IDENTIFYING AND TREATING SEPSIS
The Essentials of Identifying and Treating Sepsis is the first in a series of three webinars identified by nurses at two organizations in northern Maine in a needs assessment conducted by ANA Maine. In a first of its kind partnership model, together ANA Maine and the Lunder-Dineen Health Education Alliance of Maine are collaborating to develop and provide these webinars to nurses at these organizations as part of a pilot. Following participation in these modules, nurses will be asked for feedback that will inform the future dissemination of these educational products.
Hospital based Nurses in Maine treat incidents of sepsis in their patients as a complication resulting from a primary diagnosis. It is essential that nurses are able to differentiate among the various types of sepsis and the interventions to treat sepsis effectively and safely. This webinar will address the following learning objectives: The pathophysiology of sepsis, severe sepsis and Systematic Inflammatory Response (SIRS), as well as the symptoms and treatment of these conditions will be presented. The Nurse will also learn to integrate the Nursing Management principles of preventing sepsis.
