The parents of 3-year-old who died from septic shock say they'll never recover from the death of their eldest child. An investigation by the Health and Disability Commission found Alexzander Sutherland-Hunt died after multiple missed opportunities in his care at a rural hospital. The little boy was a month shy of his 4th birthday when his parents took him to then Grey Base Hospital with a fever and vomiting in July 2020. Natalie Akoorie reports - a warning that some details in this report are confronting.

We dive into fluid resuscitation in sepsis, with Dr. Jon-Emile Kenny, pulmonary and critical care physician, author of the physiology textbook Heart-lung.org, and inventor of the FloPatch device.

La sepsis, una respuesta inflamatoria severa causada por una infección, es una de las principales causas de mortalidad intrahospitalaria en todo el mundo. A pesar de décadas de investigación y avances en protocolos de tratamiento, identificar esta condición rápidamente y actuar de manera efectiva sigue siendo un desafío considerable. La tecnología, especialmente en forma de sistemas electrónicos de salud (EHR), está mostrando ser una herramienta prometedora para cerrar esta brecha crítica en la atención médica. En este artículo, exploraremos el impacto de los sistemas de detección electrónica de sepsis, sus beneficios, limitaciones y cómo pueden transformar el futuro de los cuidados críticos. Además, discutiremos cómo los profesionales de la salud, especialmente los enfermeros en cuidados intensivos, pueden liderar el cambio en la implementación de estas tecnologías. El Contexto de la Sepsis La sepsis es una emergencia médica que ocurre cuando el cuerpo responde de manera descontrolada a una infección, lo que lleva a disfunción orgánica e incluso la muerte si no se trata de manera oportuna. Según datos globales, la sepsis es responsable de millones de muertes cada año y representa una causa importante de hospitalización y readmisión. Los protocolos actuales para el manejo de la sepsis, como el cumplimiento de las guías de "bundles" de tratamiento (por ejemplo, administración temprana de antibióticos, pruebas de lactato y reposición de líquidos), han demostrado mejorar significativamente los resultados en los pacientes. Sin embargo, la adherencia a estas guías sigue siendo inconsistente en muchos entornos hospitalarios debido a factores como el reconocimiento tardío de la condición o la falta de diagnóstico oportuno. La Promesa de la Detección Electrónica Uno de los avances tecnológicos más esperanzadores en la atención médica moderna es el uso de registros electrónicos de salud (EHR) para monitorear continuamente el estado del paciente en tiempo real. La idea es simple: al analizar los datos del paciente de manera continua, estos sistemas pueden alertar automáticamente al equipo médico cuando detectan signos tempranos de deterioro clínico, como ocurre en la sepsis. Resultados Prometedores Un estudio reciente publicado en JAMA (diciembre 2024) evaluó el impacto de un sistema de detección electrónica de sepsis basado en el score qSOFA en cinco hospitales de Arabia Saudita. Este ensayo aleatorizado incluyó a más de 60,000 pacientes y mostró resultados impresionantes: Reducción de la mortalidad a 90 días: Los pacientes monitoreados electrónicamente tuvieron un 15% menos de riesgo de morir en el hospital en comparación con aquellos sin monitoreo (RR ajustado: 0.85). Mejoras en la intervención temprana: La detección electrónica aumentó significativamente la probabilidad de que los pacientes recibieran pruebas clave como lactato sérico y líquidos intravenosos en las primeras 12 horas. Estos hallazgos destacan cómo los sistemas de detección pueden mejorar la respuesta clínica y salvar vidas. Cómo Funcionan las Alertas Electrónicas Los sistemas de detección de sepsis utilizan datos existentes en los registros electrónicos de los pacientes, como: Cambios en los signos vitales (frecuencia cardíaca, presión arterial, temperatura). Pruebas de laboratorio (niveles de lactato, marcadores inflamatorios). Notas clínicas relacionadas con infecciones. Cuando el sistema detecta patrones que cumplen con criterios preestablecidos (como un puntaje alto en el qSOFA), genera una alerta para el equipo médico. Estas alertas se diseñan para ser inmediatas y accionables, ayudando a priorizar la atención en pacientes en riesgo. Beneficios de los Sistemas de Detección Electrónica Identificación Temprana y Precisa: La sepsis es una condición dinámica que puede evolucionar rápidamente. La capacidad de detectar signos tempranos antes de que se presenten complicaciones graves es crucial para mejorar los resultados. Estandarización de la Atención: Las alertas electrónicas aseguran que cada paciente reciba atención basada en las mejores prácticas, independientemente del nivel de experiencia del personal o la carga de trabajo en el momento. Reducción de Errores: Las herramientas electrónicas minimizan los errores humanos asociados con el monitoreo manual y la toma de decisiones en entornos de alta presión. Optimización del Tiempo del Equipo: Al priorizar a los pacientes de mayor riesgo, estas herramientas permiten al personal clínico concentrarse en intervenciones críticas. Desafíos en la Implementación Aunque los sistemas de detección electrónica tienen un potencial significativo, también enfrentan barreras que deben abordarse: Fatiga de Alertas: Un exceso de alertas puede saturar al equipo médico, reduciendo la efectividad de las notificaciones críticas. Precisión y Sesgo: Algunos sistemas han sido criticados por generar falsos positivos o no funcionar bien en poblaciones subrepresentadas. Sobrerreacción y Tratamiento Excesivo: Las alertas pueden llevar a intervenciones innecesarias, como el uso de antibióticos en pacientes que no los necesitan. Adopción Tecnológica: La capacitación y la aceptación por parte del personal son esenciales para el éxito de cualquier sistema nuevo. El Rol de los Profesionales de la Enfermería Los enfermeros en cuidados críticos son esenciales para maximizar el impacto de los sistemas de detección electrónica. Al estar en la primera línea de atención, desempeñan un papel clave en interpretar las alertas y coordinar las respuestas clínicas. Liderazgo en Tecnología Clínica En nuestro curso Critical Care Nursing, enfatizamos cómo los enfermeros pueden liderar la integración de herramientas tecnológicas: Capacitación en el uso de EHR y alertas electrónicas. Monitoreo continuo de pacientes críticos y priorización de intervenciones. Colaboración interdisciplinaria para garantizar respuestas rápidas y precisas. Mirando Hacia el Futuro La detección electrónica de sepsis es un ejemplo claro de cómo la tecnología puede mejorar la calidad y consistencia de la atención médica. Sin embargo, la clave del éxito radica en encontrar un equilibrio entre tecnología y juicio clínico. Para los hospitales y los profesionales de la salud, esto significa: Elegir sistemas diseñados para minimizar la fatiga de alertas. Capacitar al personal para usar estas herramientas de manera efectiva. Incorporar la retroalimentación del equipo clínico para ajustar los sistemas según las necesidades locales. La sepsis sigue siendo un desafío complejo, pero con herramientas innovadoras como la detección electrónica, estamos un paso más cerca de salvar más vidas y optimizar los recursos hospitalarios. Conclusión La detección electrónica de sepsis es más que una herramienta tecnológica; es un catalizador para transformar cómo se brindan los cuidados críticos. Su impacto no solo se mide en tasas de mortalidad reducidas, sino también en la confianza que los equipos médicos pueden depositar en sistemas que complementan su juicio clínico. A medida que avancemos, el papel de los enfermeros en la implementación y uso eficaz de estas herramientas será fundamental para garantizar que cada paciente reciba la atención que necesita. La combinación de tecnología innovadora y atención humana sigue siendo nuestra mejor esperanza para enfrentar los desafíos del futuro en la medicina crítica. "La tecnología salva vidas, pero es el juicio clínico el que las transforma."

In this powerful episode of Witnesses, Amb. Elisha sits down with Reasa Selph, a mother whose 11-year-old son Nicholas nearly lost his life due to medical negligence and sepsis.   Reasa opens up about her family's harrowing 40-day hospital journey, multiple surgeries, and the long-term health battles they continue to face.   • Reasa shares life-saving lessons every parent needs to know:   • Early warning signs of sepsis you should never ignore   • How to advocate for your child when doctors dismiss your concerns   • The medical records every parent should request and organize immediately   • Why persistence, documentation, and legal action matter in fighting negligence   This conversation is more than a story—it's a guide for parents to trust their instincts, ask the right questions, and protect their children when the healthcare system fails.  

Chief nursing officer Rhonda Collins discusses her article "Nurse-initiated protocols for sepsis: a strategic imperative for patient care and hospital operations." Rhonda explains why sepsis, the leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals and a $62 billion annual burden, demands the same urgency as stroke and STEMI. She highlights the power of nurse-initiated standing orders to speed recognition and treatment, reduce ED congestion, improve outcomes and cut costs. Drawing on real-world results from Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, she shows how standardized sepsis protocols supported by FDA-cleared technology reduced mortality by 39 percent, shortened length of stay and saved thousands per patient. Rhonda emphasizes that national standardization, objective tools and empowering nurses to practice at the top of their license are essential to making sepsis the "third S" in emergency care.

In the last year, Nova Scotia Health implemented a sepsis action improvement plan in six health care facilities throughout the province. It's worked so well, now, they're rolling it out province wide. In a first for Canada, all ER nurses across Nova Scotia will be able to administer antibiotics to anyone they suspect of having sepsis by the end of the month — a move that advocates are saying can, and will, save lives. We speak to Dr. Vanessa Sweet -- the medical co-lead of NHS' sepsis action improvement plan — about how Nova Scotia is changing how they approach sepsis, and what other provinces can learn from the work they're doing.

Darrian Williams, a mom to two precious girls, shares with us her chaotic experience tied to giving birth to her first daughter.   The State Maternal Health Innovation (MHI) Program is one of many complementary investments made to improve maternal health across the nation. Oklahoma's State MHI Program has partnered with the Oklahoma Family Network to help improve maternal health by providing OFN an opportunity to share family stories of those touched personally by critical health outcomes during pregnancy or soon after giving birth.  The power of educating others with personal experiences can and will improve future maternal health outcomes for our community, and we thank Darrian for sharing pieces of her journey. If you or someone you know has experienced health complications or illness that occurred during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period, and you are ready to share your story for the purpose of awareness and education, OFN would love to connect with you.

You know the drill — “patient feeling weak,” “not quite right,” maybe alittle confusion. But what if that vague dispatch hides a killer? This week on the Inside EMS podcast, hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson dig into one of the most missed, yet deadliest emergencies we face: sepsis. You'll hear when to treat aggressively with fluids, why timing matters for antibiotics and how any provider can sound the alarm with a sepsis alert. Plus, they dive into the controversy around fluid bolus protocols, which prehospital labs might be worth it and why a 30 mL/kg mindset isn't always one-size-fits-all. If you've ever walked into a call and thought “something's off,” this episode will help you figure out what — and how to act before it's too late. Memorable quotes “Most septic patientsdon'troll with a sign thatsays,‘I'm septic.'” “The number of sepsis cases we see in EMS are more than stroke and heart attack combined.” “They may have pulses everywhere — just none of them are good.” Enjoying the show?

He now has ZERO fear of death: "It's like walking through a door into another room." Ned shares his NDE experience publicly for the first time.When a stubborn bladder infection spiraled into sepsis, Ned Barnett flatlined twice in the ER. During his near death experience, he lived three vivid, sequential “lives”:NDE #1 - Tranquil, dove-gray creative realm where ideas were built and freely shared;NDE #2 - An ordinary, domestic life that quietly corrected priorities;NDE #3 - A hyper-real action life as a hostage negotiator and rescue-show producer leading SWAT-style interventions.On “re-entry,” Ned realized the “hotel” with stark black-and-white ceiling panels was actually the ICU—and his overwhelming drive was simply to call his wife and tell her he was okay. The NDE completely erased his fear of death, redirected his career toward helping authors, and deepened his Christian faith. He closes with gentle advice for listeners in pain: simple prayers, the Psalms, and the reminder that what we are continues.Video version of this podcast: https://youtu.be/zLZVh4ND4tYRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/

Gurinder and Ravinder Sidhu were excited to welcome their third baby in June. That excitement turned to fear and then grief after Ravinder died from sepsis shortly after her son's birth. Gurinder joins us to talk about how he believes the nurses and doctors didn't act fast enough to treat his wife — and even ignored their pleas for help. And why he's calling for better sepsis care so no other family has to go through what he is enduring. Then two experts talk about why Canada desperately needs a sepsis strategy. An estimated one in eighteen deaths in Canada are from sepsis, many of which Fatima Sheikh, a PhD candidate at McMaster University, and Dr Kali Barrett, a critical care physician and affiliate scientist with the Health Systems and Policy Research Collaborative Centre at UHN, say are preventable.

In Mary Ann's 33 years of life, she has faced anorexia, a near-death infection, institutional abuse, and the trauma of amputation, but she has found purpose in nourishing her body and sharing her testimony. Mary Ann has been carnivore since 2018 and rededicated her life to Jesus in 2022 during a hospital stay, and those two decisions have strengthened her physical body and saved her soul.  Mary Ann grew up in a household run by two doctors who didn't allow her to eat red meat, and followed every "heart healthy" dietary lie being perpetrated by the government in the early nineties. She became fixated around her weight and food intake as a way of regaining control in a chaotic household and developed an eating disorder that only going carnivore could cure. In 2022, bacteria from a hot tub entered an open cut in her leg and the resulting infection caused her to go septic. Mary Ann lost half of her left foot, two fingers, and nearly her life. The doctors performed skin graft surgery to save her legs, but after three years the grafts failed and she lost her right leg below the knee right after Meatstock 2025 due to osteomyelitis. Mary Ann just received her prosthetic two weeks ago and is walking and driving - healing at lightning speed thanks to God and the healing power of meat!

Sepsis is a global killer, and at one in five, it causes more deaths than heart attacks or strokes but would you know the warning signs or symptoms? An unchecked immune response to an infection or pathogen, sepsis causes the body to turn on its own tissues and vital organs. Farmer Geoff Lance is one of the lucky ones - he's a sepsis survivor - but he didn't come out unscathed. Geoff has joined forces with Sepsis Trust NZ to raise awareness of the condition during September - which is World Sepsis Month. The nationwide public campaign: 'Be a SEPSIS Superhero: Suspect it, say it, stop it' is part of a broader push for sepsis to be prioritised within our health system.

In this episode, we welcome Professor Mervyn Singer, author of Sepsis 3.0. Sepsis remains one of the most complex and deadly conditions in critical care. In this conversation,Professor Singer shares his perspectives on the shifting landscape of sepsis treatment, the role of antibiotics, steroids, metabolic interventions, and the future ofprecision medicine. He also challenges some long-standing dogmas and emphasizes the importance of individualized care over rigid guidelines.Key Topics and Chapters:The Evolution of Sepsis ManagementHistorical perspectives on sepsis treatmentEarlier recognition and intervention leading to improved outcomesCurrent Challenges and Research DirectionsOrgan dysfunction and recovery in sepsisThe importance of metabolic manipulation and mitochondrial functionThe Role of the Immune System in SepsisUnderstanding hyper- and hypo-inflammatory responsesSteroid use in critical illness—when it works and when it doesn'tAntibiotics in Sepsis: How Soon, How Long, and How Much?The changing approach to antibiotic timing and durationThe impact of microbiome disruption and antibiotic toxicityRethinking the one-hour antibiotic ruleLessons from COVID-19 and Their Impact on Sepsis ResearchThe importance of phenotype-driven treatmentsMissed opportunities in clinical trials and biobankingThe Beta-Blocker Debate in SepsisPotential benefits in selected patientsThe challenge of distinguishing compensatory tachycardia from harmful sympathetic overdriveRethinking Fever ManagementIs fever protective or harmful?When to treat and when to leave it aloneGuidelines vs. Individualized CareThe balance between evidence-based medicine and clinical expertiseThe dangers of rigid mandates and protocolsThis engaging discussion provides a fresh perspective on the current state and future of sepsis management, emphasizing the need for precision medicine, nuanced clinical decision-making, and ongoing research.References:Im Y, Kang D, Ko RE, et al.

Le sepsis est une réponse inflammatoire généralisée, liée à une infection grave, sur des patients souvent déjà fragilisés. Ils étaient responsables de 11 millions de morts chaque année, dans le monde, en 2021, d'après l'Institut Pasteur. Les formes graves du Covid-19 sont des formes de sepsis viral. Le terme « septicémie » désigne la présence de bactéries (voire champignons ou virus) dans le sang. Le sepsis touche, chaque année, 49 millions de personnes dans le monde. Si le fardeau est concentré dans les pays les plus pauvres, ces infections – gangrène, ou fièvre puerpérale (post-accouchement) – constituent aussi une cause majeure de décès dans les pays riches. Quelles sont les causes les plus fréquentes de la septicémie ? Comment en reconnaître les symptômes ? Quelles sont les complications possibles ? Pr Djillali Annane, directeur de l'Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire PROMETHEUS, Centre intégré de soins et de recherche sur le sepsis, Hôpital Raymond Poincaré à Garches Pr Yapo Paul Yapo, anesthésiste-réanimateur au CHU de Yopougon à Abidjan, en Côte d'Ivoire.   Programmation musicale : ► Suintement ft fellow - Mata na prière ► Kali Uchis – Fue mejor.   (Rediffusion)

Story at-a-glance Sepsis affects over 1.7 million U.S. adults annually, causing 350,000 deaths. It is characterized by an overwhelming immune response leading to widespread inflammation and organ failure An Iranian study of 66 ICU patients showed curcumin (500 mg) plus piperine (5 mg) reduced inflammation markers by 34.29% to 37.36% within seven days A meta-analysis revealed curcumin alone dramatically increased survival rates up to 90% and protected multiple organs including lungs, liver, and kidneys Adding black pepper to golden milk, a traditional turmeric-based drink, increases curcumin's bioavailability by 2,000% and effectively addresses metabolic syndrome symptoms through anti-inflammatory action Dr. Paul Marik's combination of vitamin C, hydrocortisone, and thiamine protocol is another life-saving option for those suffering from sepsis
