Assessing Lung Function Using Peripheral O2 Saturation in Suspected Sepsis
Can peripheral oxygen saturation levels be used instead of arterial blood gas analysis to calculate SOFA scores in patients with suspected sepsis?
Hospital Fluid Culture and Outcomes in Patients With Sepsis, Septic Shock
To what extent does hospital fluid culture influence the mortality rates of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock?
Intravenous Vitamin D Protects Organs, Reduces Short-Term Mortality From Sepsis
A meta-analysis of 10 RCTs showed the use of IV vitamin D for sepsis is promising, but further research is needed.
Elevated Troponin I During Sepsis Linked to Risk of Post-Sepsis CV Events
Among patients with no known prior CVD, modestly elevated troponin I levels during sepsis have been associated with an increased risk for experiencing adverse CV events.
Risks, Diagnosis, and Management of Sepsis in Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy
Sepsis and septic shock are common oncologic emergencies that require vigilant, timely diagnosis and intervention. Timely and effective detection and treatment of these conditions are key to patient survival.
Vitamin C, Hydrocortisone, and Thiamine vs Hydrocortisone Alone for Septic Shock
In patients with septic shock, treatment with IV vitamin C, hydrocortisone, and thiamine does not lead to more rapid resolution compared with IV hydrocortisone alone.
COVID-19 Recovery Program Could Be Modeled After Virtual Sepsis Care
An existing virtual transition and recovery program for patients with sepsis may be used as a model for similar programs for COVID-19 survivors.
Outcome Disparities in Pediatric Sepsis By Ethnicity, Insurance Status
Study authors sought to determine whether hospital outcomes in childhood severe sepsis were influenced by race, ethnicity, or insurance status, which are proxies for socioeconomic positions.
Mechanically Ventilated Adults With Sepsis: Dexmedetomidine vs Propofol for Sedation
