AB102. SOH24AB_174. Sepsis in the intensive care unit: are patients receiving the sepsis bundle within the ‘golden hour’?—A retrospective observational study

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition arising from the body's response to infection causing injury to its own tissues and organs. In 2016, there were 14,804 cases of sepsis documented in Ireland and 1 in 5 of these patients died. Sepsis 6 is the name given to a bundle of therapies designed to reduce mortality in patients with sepsis. It includes blood cultures, blood tests including lactate and measuring urinary output. It also includes the administration of intravenous fluids, broad spectrum antimicrobial therapy and oxygen within one hour of recognition of sepsis.
