title: Gaps and improvement in management of sepsis.
abstract: Sepsis can be fatal if not identified early. If health professionals know what to look out for, more patient deaths resulting from sepsis could be prevented. In November 2015, the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death reviewed the subject of sepsis. This article discusses its findings and the implications for nurses.
