Sepsis Discharge Program: An Interdisciplinary Approach To Reduce Sepsis Readmissions
<p>The social and economic burden associated with sepsis readmission remains a global healthcare issue. Sepsis survivors are at higher risk for physical debilitation, readmission, and death, yet despite advanced sepsis prevention and interventions, post-sepsis care and sepsis readmission reduction …

Improving Early Sepsis Identification
<p> Sepsis is a serious complication which is initiated by the body’s extreme response to an infection. If sepsis is not identified and treated promptly, it can rapidly lead to tissue damage, organ failure and death. Accounting for high morbidity and mortality rates in the United States, sepsis has …

Oxygen Consumption in Sepsis
<p>Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that can lead to septic shock and death. With over 300,000 annual cases (AHRQ, 2011) costing a staggering $1.5 billion (Health Care Utilization Project Brief #185), the importance of sepsis is becoming clear. However, some basic biological …

Host response in sepsis
Sepsis is a serious condition characterized by a systemic inflammatory response to an infection. Increased vascular leakage, vasodilation and heart failure cause circulatory disturbances challenging the intensivist. Despite modern medication and high technology supportive care, mortality is high. …

Early Intervention In Suspected Sepsis Patients
… of an early response algorithm for suspected sepsis patients via a rapid response team. </p> <p>Background: Recent literature supports the need for early recognition and intervention of suspected sepsis patients, potentially reducing morbidity and mortality. </p> <p>Methods: A clinically and …

The Microcirculation in Trauma and Sepsis
… and changes in permeability during trauma or sepsis, that are in part necessary for the natural healing process, may also cause hypovolemia and edema formation, leading to disturbances in microvascular exchange. This thesis discusses changes is microvascular flow, permeability and plasma …

Improving Early Sepsis Identification on Inpatient Units
<p>Sepsis is a medical emergency that if left untreated can rapidly cause death for many patients due to effects that this systemic infection has on the human body. Millions of Americans nationwide are affected by sepsis on an annual basis. To reduce the number of patients who decline to sepsis in …

Improving Early Sepsis Identification on Inpatient Units
<p>Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises from a complication of severe infection characterized by a systemic inflammatory response (SIRS). As a time critical illness requiring early identification and treatment, delayed recognition of sepsis can lead to organ failure and death. …

Improving Early Sepsis Identification on Inpatient Units
<p>Sepsis is a medical emergency resulting from an infection. Its systemic effects can quickly lead to death if it is left untreated. The condition is extremely costly in regard to human life and national healthcare costs. In an effort to combat rising rates of sepsis effective protocols must be …

Improving Early Sepsis Identification on Inpatient Units
<p>Sepsis is a life threatening medical emergency that if left untreated could ultimately lead to death. It is defined as the body’s extreme response to infection which can rapidly worsen if not identified and managed quickly. As sepsis worsens, it leads to extended hospital stays, poor patient …

Improving Early Sepsis Identification on Inpatient Units
… <p><strong> </strong>Sepsis is a potential life-threatening emergency that can become fatal if left unidentified and treated. The body immediately initiates an inflammatory response cascade throughout the body. If sepsis is left untreated, it can rapidly lead to organ …

Improving Early Sepsis Identification on Inpatient Units
<p>Sepsis is a serious complication caused by an overwhelming immune response to infection that affect millions of people worldwide each year. Sepsis is a time sensitive illness that requires early identification and quick interventions to improve patient outcomes. This quality improvement project …

SIGNALING MECHANISMS IN SEPSIS-INDUCED IMMUNE DYSFUNCTION
Sepsis and subsequent organ failure remain the major cause of mortality in intensive care units in spite of significant research efforts. The lung is the most vulnerable organ affected by early hyper-inflammatory immune response in septic patients. On the other hand, the septic insult induces …

Adhesive and signaling mechanisms in abdominal sepsis
Sepsis is a major cause of mortality in intensive care units despite decades of scientific efforts. The lung is recognized as the most sensitive and critical organ affected by the hyper-inflammatory response in septic patients. Immune cell dysfunction develops in later phases of sepsis making …

Biomarkers in sepsis and other severe infections
… in patients with severe infections with focus on sepsis. We assessed if our findings could serve as biomarkers and provide valuable diagnostic and possible also therapeutic information. In the first part (paper I) we examined surface markers on white blood cells from patients with severe …

An eICU/ICU Collaborative to Reduce Sepsis Mortality
<p>Sepsis costs over 20 billion dollars annually to treat making it the most expensive diagnosis for hospitals (Afrefian, et al., 2017) and carries with it an average mortality rate of 45% (SCCM, 2016). The eICU/ICU collaborative project was developed to improve sepsis mortality at Sutter Health’s …
