Identifying Patients With Sepsis in the ED: Novel Approaches From Electronic to the Lab

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation discusses the challenges of diagnosing and treating sepsis in emergency settings. Sepsis is difficult to diagnose at the bedside due to varied presentations and lack of a gold standard definition. Early intervention is crucial to prevent death, but over-diagnosis can lead to antibiotic misuse and resistance. Current scoring systems and automated alerts have limitations, and while technologies like machine learning show promise, they need validation. No definitive biomarker exists for sepsis, and existing tools like CRP and procalcitonin are inadequate for diagnosis. Integrating predictive models and biomarkers might improve clinical practice, but must be tailored to specific environments.
