Abstract

This paper summarises the problem of the recognition and management of sepsis in in-patients. A case vignette describes a common scenario faced by trainees, in which timely and effective care is difficult to deliver. We offer suggestions for possible changes in hospital systems and care delivery that are likely to lead to better outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
