 The Journal on Improving Outcome of Sepsis on The Ward: Introducing The

‘Sepsis Six’ Bundle discusses the use of Sepsis Six bundle which is designed to

facilitate early intervention with three diagnostic and three therapeutic steps to be

delivered within 1h to patients with suspected sepsis. It aims to investigate the effects of

delivering the ‘Sepsis Six’ bundle by the Critical Care Outreach team on patient

outcomes. The main outcome measure was the change in National Early Warning

Score following the delivery of the Sepsis Six bundle within 24h. Secondary outcomes

were 90-day mortality and overall bundle compliance. The results based on the 207

patients were included in the analysis showed overall bundle compliance was 84%.

National Early Warning Scores decreased significantly 24h after administering the

Sepsis Six. The study concludes that there are better outcomes after the administration

of Sepsis Six. Reliable delivery of the bundle, defined as 80% of patients receiving the

standard of care, is achievable, and our quality improvement data suggest that it is likely

to be sustainable in our environment. Relevance to clinical practice, Sepsis Six can

reduce physiological impairment, monitored by the National Early Warning Scores.

Consistent delivery of the bundle can lead to better patient outcomes.

The journal presents reliable outcomes within the study and in my opinion I think

all intensive care units in the Philippines must adapt the or regulate the Sepsis Six

Bundle effectively and consistently to reduce mortality secondary to sepsis and have

better patient outcomes. Intensive and critical care nurses must be educated on the

Sepsis Six Bundle to successfully improve the sepsis conditions on critical care wards.
