Tip of the Week – SCCM Updates Sepsis Guidelines

Sepsis and septic shock is one of the things we are supposed to be trained to recognize as nurses but there has never been a bedside-accessible set of assessments that could be used without having a fresh set of labs available.

Tip of the Week – Help for Patient Simulation Educators
