Digital Sepsis Monitoring May Improve Inpatient Outcomes
Systemwide implementation presents opportunity to improve care for patients who may have sepsis.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Early Infectious Diseases Consult May Lower Sepsis Mortality
Early infectious diseases consultation is associated with a reduction in in-hospital mortality for patients receiving a severe sepsis and septic shock treatment bundle.
Protocolized Sepsis Care Lowers Sepsis Mortality in NY State
Compared with control states, decrease in sepsis mortality greater after implementation of regulations.
Advocacy Group Calls for Shutdown of Sepsis Clinical Trial
Clovers trial seeks to determine which IV fluids, vasopressors combo works best to curb sepsis.
Corticosteroid Use May Modestly Reduce Mortality Risk in Sepsis
The use of corticosteroids in sepsis appears to modestly reduce the risk for death and modestly increase neuromuscular weakness but the evidence is not definitive.
New York State Mandate for Pediatric Sepsis Bundled Care Linked to Lower Mortality
Completion of a care bundle for pediatric patients within 1 hour of sepsis recognition, which includes blood cultures, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and a 20-mL/kg intravenous fluid bolus, was associated with lower in-hospital mortality among children with sepsis and septic shock
Completing Sepsis Bundle Within an Hour Cuts Pediatric Mortality
However, completing individual bundle elements in that timeframe does not reduce pediatric mortality.
Glucocorticoid treatment ineffective for reducing sepsis-related mortality
Hydrocortisone treatment does not effectively reduce mortality in sepsis.
Norepinephrine shortage led to higher mortality in septic shock patients
Patients with septic shock taking phenylephrine during the 2011 norepinephrine shortage experienced higher in-hospital mortality rates.
Short-term oral corticosteroid use associated with increased risk for sepsis, venous thromboembolism
Approximately 1 in 5 American adults use corticosteroids in the short term, which is associated with an increased risk for sepsis, venous thromboembolism, and fracture.
