SCCM Resource Library-Sepsis Definitions and Their Impact on Other Populations

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Anne Raine Brown, a clinical pharmacy specialist in critical care, discusses the impact of the sepsis definition on different patient populations such as heart failure, COPD, and oncology. The sepsis definition has evolved over time, with the latest sepsis 3 definitions focusing on life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated host response to infection. Brown emphasizes the need for objective criteria and standardized methodology to enhance consistency and comparability in sepsis research, surveillance, and quality reporting. She also points out the subjectivity in diagnosing sepsis, which can lead to variability in patient outcomes. The video highlights patient case studies and the challenges in diagnosing sepsis for patients with complex comorbidities. Brown concludes by discussing the recommendations and limitations of using early warning score systems to identify patients at risk for sepsis-related mortality.
