The Surviving Sepsis Campaign, an initiative of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, the International Sepsis Forum, and the Society of Critical Care Medicine, has been developed to improve the management, diagnosis, and treatment of sepsis.
In addition, a sepsis clinical pathway utilizing the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines was developed to encourage efficient delivery of evidence-based care.
In an attempt to improve care and reduce mortality, the Surviving Sepsis Campaign and The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) have created two sepsis treatment bundles.
Guidelines (26) published as part of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign have endorsed the use of PRBCs in the treatment of patients with sepsis who show evidence of inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues under certain circumstances.
Philips ProtocolWatch aims to improve clinical confidence by utilizing the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) protocols to define physiological parameters that indicate the onset of sepsis.
In its initial release, ProtocolWatch brings the care guidelines developed by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) to the Philips IntelliVue patient monitoring platform.
