The Silent Threat of Sepsis: Sepsis Scalation

In this episode, we discuss the crucial role of timely intervention in sepsis care and its impact on patient outcomes. We emphasize that delays in escalating sepsis treatment led to higher morbidity and mortality.

We explore the use of risk score tools, such as the National Early Warning Score (NEWS), as a means of identifying patients who are at risk of deterioration. We highlight the high predictive power of NEWS in determining in-hospital mortality among patients with suspected infections.

This episode underscores the importance of early detection and timely intervention in sepsis care and the potential benefits of using risk score tools and early warning systems.
