The coroner's concerns
1. unnecessary antibiotics in COPD patients
“This patient received lV antibiotics correctly in accordance with the Sepsis 6 guidelines. However, she did not in fact require antibiotics on an overview of the available information, There appears to be an unresolved tension between the Sepsis 6 guidelines and the BTS COPD care bundle for the management of patients with advanced respiratory disease.”
