SEPTIC CONDITIONS IN INTENSIVE CARE
Dana Streitová, Renáta Zoubková and team

The role of nurses working in intensive care is very important and has been increasingly emphasized in recent recommendations. Nursing plays a crucial role in preventing healthcare-associated infections. Preventive steps are published as recommendations grouped into so-called bundles of preventive or recommended practices (Bundles of care).

Nurses are also able to assess the patient's condition and thus contribute to the early diagnosis of sepsis, thereby preventing the progression of the condition to septic shock, the development of multiorgan dysfunction in septic patients. The aim of the publication is to try to bring together available information on the care of a patient in a septic state, to help navigate the issue and thus contribute to quality care for patients with impending or already ongoing septic conditions.

However, the reader will find much more than a text for nurses working in intensive care; students and doctors/intensivists will also find important information here, who can broaden their perspective on a comprehensive approach to the patient.
