Podcasts about global sepsis alliance

Hello, this is Marvin from the Global Sepsis Alliance, here to let you know that the 5th World Sepsis Congress is happening next week! This year's theme is “Sepsis Research and Innovations,” and the congress will be broadcast live on April 8-9, 2025.

For Sepsis Awareness Month, Dr Marilena Giannoudi speaks with Dr Ron Daniels about sepsis. They discuss the causes, investigation, management, and prevention of sepsis. Topics include the Sepsis 6 and escalation of care, use of blood cultures, septic shock, and post-sepsis syndrome. Dr Ron Daniels is an NHS Consultant in Intensive Care, based at University Hospitals Birmingham, U.K. He's also Founder and Chief Executive of the UK Sepsis Trust and Vice-President of the Global Sepsis Alliance. In 2016 he was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to patients. Ron's expertise lies in translational medicine and leadership. He leads the team driving dissemination of the Sepsis 6 treatment pathway and is part of the team responsible for much of the policy and media engagement around sepsis in the U.K. and elsewhere, including as a core member of the team securing the adoption of the 2017 Resolution on Sepsis by the World Health Organization (WHO). At home, Ron's worked with the NHS over the last 9 years to ensure that by 2019, in England, more than 80% of patients presenting with suspected sepsis were receiving appropriate antimicrobials rapidly. He is now leading a team working with His Majesty's Government to once again drive sepsis improvement work in the post pandemic era. He's ever mindful of the perceived conflict, and the synergies and need for collaboration, with the antimicrobial stewardship agenda. Dr Marilena Giannoudi is a clinical academic trainee in cardiology in the Yorkshire and Humber region. Her current interests include heart failure, endothelial dysfunction, and medical education. She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and is currently pursuing a PhD. Dr Giannoudi is passionate about ensuring that trainees' voices are heard and that educational opportunities are available to foster confidence and independence throughout their training. She has developed core medical training (now IMT) teaching programs in hospitals across her deanery. Additionally, she uses her position on the local junior doctor body to advocate for and implement necessary changes. -- Links -- The UK Sepsis Trust's Clinical Tools - https://sepsistrust.org/healthcare-professionals/clinical-tools/ NICE guidelines on suspected sepsis - https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/NG51 Global Sepsis Alliance - https://globalsepsisalliance.org/ -- Choose RCPE as your College of Entry for PACES -- We encourage you to sit PACES with our College.

Sepsis, originally known as blood poisoning, is a life-threatening medical emergency. Tune in to learn about the complexities of sepsis diagnosis, the role of lactate and procalcitonin levels, and the global health challenge it poses. Hear from experts and a sepsis survivor about the advancements in identifying and managing this critical condition. Sepsis is the body's extreme response to an infection. It occurs when a pre-existing infection triggers a chain reaction throughout a person's body. Sepsis can be difficult to diagnose because patients present different symptoms, and their observation can be subjective. According to the Global Sepsis Alliance, the disease contributes to approximately one in five deaths worldwide and in the United States alone; it stands as the leading cause of death in hospitals, leading to one in three hospital fatalities. Compounding these mortality rates is a rise in antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance due to overuse or misuse. Today, we're joined by experts in the field of diagnostics and critical care as well as a sepsis patient and advocate in order to more acutely understand the disease, its diagnosis, and the advancements in the field.In this episode, host Ranga Sampath, Senior Vice President and Head of the Center for Innovation in Diagnostics at Siemens Healthineers and Member of the Board of the Sepsis Alliance, welcomes:Heike Spreter-Krick a sepsis survivor who is now a patient advocate working with the Global Sepsis AlliancePatti DeJuilio, Director of Respiratory Care and Diagnostic Services at Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, IllinoisDr. Eric Gluck, Director of Critical Care Services at Swedish Hospital and professor of medicine at Finch University of Health Sciences at The Chicago Medical SchoolMervyn Singer, professor of intensive care medicine at University College London What you'll learn in this episode:The timing of diagnosis and treatment is critical because sepsis creates oxygen deprivation in the cells.Risk factors like age and comorbidities can increase the likelihood of a patient developing sepsis.The biomarker procalcitonin can be used as an identifier for sepsis infection.Lactate levels, a chemical naturally produced by the body during times of stress, can be used as one indicator among others that a patient may be experiencing sepsis.In the UK, the National Early Warning Score helps closely monitor patients at risk for developing sepsis.IV antibiotics have long been the gold standard for sepsis treatment, but they are at risk of overuse and misuse.For many patients, surviving a sepsis infection is just the beginning of a long road to recovery.Connect with Ranga SampathLinkedInConnect with Heike Spreter-KrickInstagramConnect with Patti DeJuilioLinkedInConnect with Mervyn SingerLinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

Do you say “I don’t know” when you really don’t have an answer? Might seeking that knowledge help your patients? This is just one component of a wonderful conversation I held with Professor Flavia Machado when I interviewed her at the recent DasSMACC conference in Berlin. Flavia is doing a great job at raising the awareness of sepsis globally but her other great job is in running a large Intensive Care department in Sao Paolo, Brazil, where she told me that the resources are quite limited. To deal with this challenge she believes optimal communication is vital. How does Flavia lead her ICU on the issue of communication? She does this (1) by having an environment where her team members can ask important questions, (2) by using the WhatsApp messenger app on smartphones, (3) by teaching trainees using courses on how to break bad news, how to speak with families, and how to deal with doctors who have different clinical opinions, and (4) by saying “I don’t know” when finding the knowledge will help the patient. Flavia is the Professor of Intensive Care at the Federal University of São Paulo in São Paulo where she is Head of the Intensive Care Section of the Anesthesiology, Pain and Intensive Care Department. Flavia has trained in Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases and Critical Care, making the field of sepsis something she has become a world leader in. She is one of the Founders of and now the CEO of the Latin America Sepsis Institute (LASI), having been its President. LASI is devoted to quality improvement in Brazilian hospitals as well as to coordination of multicenter studies in the field of sepsis. She is part of the executive board of the Global Sepsis Alliance and the executive committee for the World Sepsis Day. Flavia has served on the board of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign International Guidelines. She is also a member of both the Executive and Scientific Committee of the Brazilian Research in Intensive Care Network-BRICNET. Finally, Flavia is the editor-in-chief of “Revista Brasileira de Terapia Intensiva”, the official journal of the Brazilian Critical Care Association and the Portuguese Critical Care Association. In this conversation we also cover topics including: Raising awareness of sepsis through the Global Sepsis Alliance Mentoring and being mentored The need for a multi-professional program in ICUs with a multi-disciplinary ward round Setting goals and using checklists How the limited resources in Brazilian healthcare require strict admission rules The use of simple and short protocols based on the evidence How to best deal with conflict with another doctor Using dinner time to connect with family How running is good for the mind The joys of reading books With this podcast please help me in my quest to improve patient care, in ICUs all round the world, by inspiring all of us to bring our best selves to work to more masterfully interact with our patients, their families, ourselves and our fellow healthcare professionals so that we can achieve the most satisfactory outcomes for all. It would be much appreciated if you could help to spread the word by simply emailing your colleagues or posting on social media. If you have a comment or a question, let’s engage. Whilst my primary goal is to improve patient outcomes by helping us all get better thanks to the inspiring messages of my guests, I also have the goal of building community through Mastering Intensive Care, so people can share their thoughts and their own skills. So leave a comment (on the LITFL episode page or on twitter using #masteringintensivecare), send me an email at andrew@masteringintensivecare.com or engage in the facebook page Mastering Intensive Care.

In this episode Tex Kissoon, MD,a well-known doctor from Canada, will provide us with the insight into the global phenomenon of Sepsis. Sepsis affects more than 30 million lives per year yet it is almost unknown to the general public and is quite often misdiagnosed by medical professionals worldwide. The reasons of why that is with the why Sepsis is so deadly, and what you can do to increase Sepsis awareness-- will be discussed in the next 60 minutes. Dr. Kissoon is joined by Ray Schachter, a Sepsis survivor who has dedicated all of his available time to combating and raising awareness of Sepsis worldwide. Both are members of the Global Sepsis Alliance, which has established World Sepsis Day on September 13th every year to raise awareness for Sepsis worldwide.

Join us as Dr. Ron Daniels, MD and Dr. Imrana Malik, MD discuss Sepsis. Sepsis, one of the most prevalent but misdiagnosed, deadly diseases, was established as a global priority by the World Health Assembly, the decision-making body of the WHO, in the last week of May. In this episode, Dr Ron Daniels, Physician, Founder and CEO of the UK Sepsis Trust and Member of the Board of the Global Sepsis Alliance, and Dr Imrana Malik, Associate Professor in the Department of Critical Care at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX, and Coordinator of GSA Advance, will explain why the resolution on sepsis is a milestone in the global fight against sepsis and what implications it will have.

In this episode Sepsis will be defined by three Healthcare Clinicians and one Clinician -- a Sepsis survivor. According to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics estimates that, based upon information collected for billing purposes, the number of times people were in the hospital with sepsis or septicemia (another word for sepsis) increase.Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening complication of an infection. If sepsis progresses to septic shock, blood pressure drops dramatically, which may lead to death. Anyone can develop sepsis, but it's most common and most dangerous in older adults or those with weakened immune systems. Early treatment of sepsis improves chances for survival.
