ABSTRACT
Introduction: The term sepsis has a deep root all over medical history. It defined by a
many physician and myth such as Homer’s Iliad. Sepsis defined as a clinical syndrome
as an outcome from both systemic inflammatory response syndrome and infection. It can
complicate by disturb the function of the organ (severe sepsis) and shock (septic shock).
Aim: Our study aims to recognize sepsis cases in Al-Sader Medical city during 2019 and
evaluate the management’s management and the weak point in this management. Methods:
It is a cross-sectional study done in Al-Sader Medical city; data collected from the
archived files in the hospital during 2019, 100 cases reported in this period diagnosed and
admitted as sepsis or admitted with other diagnosis evolved sepsis. Results: We found
that one-third of the patients diagnosed as sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit, the
mean duration of management 15.8 days. Many investigations did for these patients, the
treatment which given to the patients was iv. fluids and antibiotics for entire patients, we
also noted that death occurs in more than half of the patients in our study and death were
prevalent among patient with a negative result in blood culture also the male patient was
more predominant than the female patient and Najaf residency is more than three-quarters
of them. Finally, we found that admission to the intensive care unit from units other than
emergency or intensive care unit itself found is nearly one-third of the patient diagnosed as
sepsis and the respiratory system was commonly involved and presented as pneumonia.
Conclusion: More than half of the diagnosed cases died. The maximum common source of
admission was from other hospital units, the severe sepsis and no growth of blood culture
closely associated with death.
