The present study was aim to evaluate emergency personnel’s knowledge and attitude toward identification and management of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary teaching hospital and recruited all emergency personnel. A validated questionnaire on knowledge and attitude towards identification and management of SIRS/sepsis was distributed among 120 emergency personnel. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Overall finding founds emergency nurses and assistant medical officer appeared to have moder- ate knowledge in several important areas of SIRS/sepsis identification and management. Majority of the emergency personnel have neutral attitudes, as they do not give enough importance towards identifica- tion of patients with SIRS and sepsis. The present study finding found that knowledge of clinical criteria and management of SIRS/sepsis was highest among assistant medical officers (p = 0.02) and bachelor’s degree holders (p=0.02) with emergency experience more than 5 years (p=0.03). A trend toward an increase in knowledge of SIRS and sepsis is significantly correlated with positive attitudes. Conclusion: The emergency personnel demonstrated a moderate knowledge and neutral attitude toward identification and management of SIRS and sepsis.
