February 2022 Virtual Journal Club – Fluid Response Evaluation in Sepsis Hypotension and Shock

Author: Rajesh Chatha / Editor: Rajesh Chatha, Robert Hirst / Codes: / Published: 24/02/2022

At TERN Education we are keen to help you learn how to critically evaluate the evidence base behind your practice. In order to do this, we have been producing monthly virtual journal club (VJC) modules on RCEMLearning since March 2021.

Welcome to February 2022s Virtual Journal Club Module. This months edition is written by the TERN Education team and it looks at fluid resuscitation in sepsis.

Are you interested in writing a module? We are looking to recruit regional teams around the country to write future Modules from August. Email us on tern.education@rcem.ac.uk.
