Скачать или смотреть Early Recognition and Treatment of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: A New Paradigm

Severe sepsis is a time-critical emergency. As with stroke, trauma and heart attack, the identification and response to severe sepsis should be urgent and protocol-based. Sepsis is on the increase; mortality rates are high; yet many hospitals lack a coordinated or systematic response to sepsis. Dr. David Larson, an emergency physician, explains the evolution of the evidence and the latest guidelines for sepsis. He illustrates how mortality has been reduced where multidisciplinary hospital teams have implemented the use of screening tools, standardized order sets, and early goal-directed therapy across multiple settings: ED, ICU and medical floors. This presentation will assist the physician in early detection of sepsis, and it will assist clinicians and facilities in building these life-saving teams and protocols.
