This study was conducted to determine the compliance and knowledge of sepsis guidelines among resident physicians in a tertiary care hospital of a developing country. A self-structured validated questionnaire was prepared to evaluate compliance and knowledge of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines. A total of 76 resident physicians completed the questionnaire; out of these, 51 (67%) were from Internal Medicine department and 25 (33%) were from Emergency Medicine department of the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi. A total of 71 (93%) participants claimed to be aware of the SSC guidelines but only 20 (26%) considered themselves very knowledgeable on the subject. Thirty-five (46%) physicians claimed that they were using the guidelines regularly. We concluded that the overall knowledge and compliance of sepsis guidelines was suboptimal. This emphasises the need for increased awareness and teaching of sepsis and SSC guidelines to improve patient outcomes in developing countries.
本研究旨在确定发展中国家一家三级保健医院住院医师对脓毒症指南的遵循情况和知识水平。我们准备了一份自我结构化的经过验证的问卷，以评估对拯救脓毒症运动（SSC）指南的遵循情况和知识水平。共有 76 名住院医师完成了问卷；其中 51 名（67%）来自内科，25 名（33%）来自卡拉奇 Aga Khan 大学医院的急诊医学部。共有 71 名（93%）参与者声称了解 SSC 指南，但只有 20 名（26%）认为自己对该主题非常了解。35 名（46%）医生声称他们经常使用这些指南。我们得出的结论是，脓毒症指南的总体知识和遵循情况并不理想。这强调了需要提高对脓毒症和 SSC 指南的认识和教学，以改善发展中国家患者的预后。
