An Evidence Based Approach To Sepsis: Educational Program, Dolores Perez
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Evidence-based guidelines for recognizing and treating sepsis have been available for decades, yet healthcare providers do not adhere to the recommendations.

In this brief, Modernizing Nevada's Education Structures: Opportunities for the 78th Session of the Nevada Legislature, Drs. Martinez and Damore review research …
