Abstrakt: Background: Sepsis remains a critical challenge in intensive care units (ICUs), necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its epidemiology and the management strategies employed in critical care settings. Methods: This cross-sectional survey involved 200 critically ill patients diagnosed with sepsis across five major hospitals. Data were collected on the incidence of sepsis, management strategies, and outcomes, using structured questionnaires and review of medical records. Results: The study identified prevailing patterns in the occurrence of sepsis and elucidated the variety of management strategies adopted by healthcare professionals in the ICUs. Data analysis highlighted the impact of early intervention and protocol-driven care on patient outcomes. Conclusion: The epidemiological data and management strategies derived from this survey provide vital insights that can enhance sepsis care protocols, potentially improving patient outcomes in critical care environments.
