SCCM Resource Library-Challenges of Sepsis Diagnosis and a new approach using the host immune response, SeptiCyte®

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript is from a presentation on sepsis and the development of a new technology called septicite lab. The speaker, Dr. Stephen LaRosa, explains the challenges in diagnosing sepsis and the limitations of current criteria such as the Las Vegas criteria and QSOFA. He discusses the need for a new approach and the potential use of gene expression analysis as a way to differentiate sepsis from non-infectious inflammation. Dr. Russ Miller then presents the results of the Venus study, which evaluated the septicite lab in a cohort of ICU patients. The study found that the septicite lab had a high accuracy in distinguishing sepsis from SIRS and that its performance was not affected by disease severity. Dr. Miller also mentions that the septicite lab has a turnaround time of about an hour, making it a potentially valuable tool in diagnosing sepsis more quickly and accurately.

The Society of Critical Care Medicine's Critical Care Congress features internationally renowned faculty and content sessions highlighting the most up-to-date, evidence-based developments in critical care medicine. This is a presentation from the 2020 Critical Care Congress held February 16-19, 2020, in Orlando, Florida, USA.

This session showcases the new SeptiCyte® RAPID test running on the Idylla™ platform. Learn about SeptiCyte® RAPID, a host response test, with actionable results in approximately one hour, differentiating sepsis from systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) with high negative predictive value (NPV), thus expediting and improving patient management for critically ill patients being admitted to the ICU. Steven P. LaRosa, MD, will address the challenges of current sepsis diagnosis and a new alternative approach leveraging the host immune response while Russell R® Miller III, MD, will present highlights from the VENUS study, a clinical validation of SeptiCyte® LAB.
