SCCM Resource Library-Subphenotypes of Sepsis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the need for a taxonomy of sepsis and the challenges in defining subtypes. They argue that while there is a desire to create discrete subtypes based on clinical and biological data, the reality is that patients often have overlapping characteristics. The speaker questions the meaningfulness of these subtypes and suggests alternative approaches such as individual treatment effects. They also highlight the lack of consensus and implementation of subtypes in clinical trials. Overall, the speaker emphasizes the need for further research and progress in understanding the heterogeneity of sepsis.
