Sepsis Management
Sepsis is a clinical syndrome that results from the human body's response to infection. While bacteria probably account for most cases, sepsis can also be the result of infection by fungi, viruses and parasites. Traditionally there was considerable confusion regarding specific definitions of the various sequelae associated with sepsis. During this class we will discuss what things we as EMS providers can do to recognize this issue, as well as effectively treat it and set our patients up for success in the ED and beyond.
