Beneficios de la implementación del código sepsis en pacientes con shock séptico en el área hospitalaria

Abstract

Sepsis is a set of clinical manifestations caused by the presence of an infectious etiological agent. Septic shock is characterized by being an infectious-type syndrome where there is multi-organ failure and patient mortality increases if the condition is not managed promptly. A bibliographic compilation is carried out where the objective is to determine the benefits of the implementation of the sepsis code in health homes in patients who come to the consultation with clinical characteristics of sepsis or septic shock. The type of research was descriptive, non-experimental and bibliographic review. The review concluded that the benefits of implementing the sepsis code in a health home are based on promptly diagnosing sepsis or septic shock and that its use decreased patient mortality. In addition, one author mentions that elevated lactate and creatinine levels together with the administration of amines increase the incidence of mortality in patients with sepsis and septic shock
