Management of the Sepsis Protocol: An integrative litera-ture review

This study aims to analyze the scientific evidence regarding the management of the Sepsis Protocol from an integrative literature review. This question guided a search in the electronic databases: SciELO, MEDLINE, LILACS and PubMed, all present in the Virtual Health Library and Web of Science. Ten publications were analyzed, from 2017 to 2021. Most of the results indicate that sepsis management is necessary to improve patient management, rapid identification of signs and symptoms and contribute to increasing the effectiveness of the multidisciplinary team. It is concluded that sepsis is a serious pathology, which affects most patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. It shows the need for hospital services to standardize and institute sepsis management protocols, since there are currently many existing control mechanisms, involving increasingly sophisticated and low-cost technologies.
