Identifying, Managing and Treating Sepsis

Respiratory Exchange

Sepsis is a leading cause of death in hospitals worldwide. In this episode Drs. Matthew Dettmer and James Morrison discuss the two major patient populations: one that comes in through the emergency department and the other that is already in the hospital. They cover the defining characteristics of these groups, the patient populations more at risk for developing sepsis, and the regulations providers must adhere to as they work to prevent sepsis deaths.
