SCCM Resource Library-March Journal Club: Critical Care Medicine (2022)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Today's Journal Club featured two articles focusing on sepsis. Dr. Yashar Tarabasi discussed an article on the use of a provider and pharmacist-facing sepsis early warning system in the emergency department. The study found that implementing the early warning system led to a reduction in time to antibiotic administration, as well as an increase in the number of days alive and out of hospital for sepsis patients. The early warning system was integrated into the electronic health record and alerted clinicians of patients at high risk for sepsis. The system showed promise in improving sepsis-associated process measures and outcomes. Dr. Stephanie Taylor presented on the impacts of a sepsis transition and recovery program on mortality and readmissions after sepsis. The program involved nurse navigators who provided support and education to sepsis survivors after discharge from the hospital. The study found that patients who received the program had a lower risk of mortality or readmission compared to those who received usual care. The program also showed improvements in behavioral health screening, medication reconciliation, and care goal documentation. These findings highlight the potential benefits of providing support and guidance to sepsis survivors after their hospital stay. Both studies contribute to the growing knowledge on sepsis management and highlight the importance of early intervention and post-discharge support for sepsis patients.
