Implementação do protocolo de sepse na unidade de terapia intensiva adulto do Hospital Belo Horizonte

Abstract

Sepsis is a worldwide health problem, showing significant rates of morbidity and mortality. Defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction, an unregulated secondary response of the organism to infection by bacteria, fungi, virus, parasites or protozoa. The aim of this intervention is to enable a nursing team to execute the protocol for care of adult patients with suspected sepsis, according to the latest international consensus for sepsis and septic shock (sepsis-3). It is intended to enable 100% of the nursing staff of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Belo Horizonte Hospital, Brazil. This intervention project uses an action-research as a scientific methodology. This intervention is expected to enable knowledge exchange through discussion and reflection on this important topic, as well as better access to the protocol to obtain increasingly favorable outcomes.
