The signs, symptoms and help-seeking experiences of neutropenic sepsis patients before they reach hospital: a qualitative study
2015
Purpose
Neutropenic sepsis (NS) is a medical emergency in which urgent treatment with antibiotics is known to improve outcomes, yet there are minimal data about what happens to patients with NS before they reach hospital. We aimed to examine the pre-hospital experiences of patients with NS, identifying its early presenting features and exploring the factors potentially delaying patients’ arrival at hospital.
