Take the shock out of Sepsis

Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of sepsis are crucial to improving patient outcomes. The SimSuite Sepsis Program is the only simulation-based training solution that focuses on early identification, as well as implementation of therapies using realistic, hands-on education.

Sepsis Program Video Overview

Training Objectives

Upon completion of this course, the participant should be able to:

• Differentiate between sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock.
• Interrelate the patient's presenting signs and symptoms to those consistent with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).
• Identify historical findings that are correlated with an increased risk for sepsis (index of suspicion).
• Recognize signs and symptoms of organ dysfunction.
• Name findings indicative of decreased tissue oxygenation.
• Apply early goal-directed initial fluid resuscitation recommendations according to the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines.
• Prioritize interventions used in the treatment of patients with severe sepsis/septic shock outlined in the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines.
• Apply rationale for septic shock treatments.

  • Sepsis Library: This course series features seven modules, in two series, that each provides an in-depth focus of different areas of identification and treatment of sepsis. The modules may be completed individually, or in combination, to meet specific healthcare organization learning objectives. The Sepsis Continuum Series features instruction on the four stages of sepsis. The Surviving Sepsis Series focuses on the treatment of sepsis and the prevention of the evolution of sepsis into septic shock. (CE Statement
