Interdisciplinary research led by Christopher Hollenbeak, professor of health policy and administration in the Penn State College of Health and Human Development, found that a new blood test for sepsis could save lives and money. The results are published inCritical Care Explorations. The IntelliSep ...

"Our research involved more than 900 critically ill children in the emergency departments and intensive care units of four Queensland hospitals," said Dr. Coin, who is also a Professor at the Doherty Institute at the University of Melbourne. "Blood samples were taken from these patients at the ...
Blood culture remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of neonatal septicemia. Combination of two or more sepsis screen parameters has better results in diagnosing neonatal septicemia compared to a single test while awaiting the blood culture results.KEYWORDS: Blood culture, Neonatal septicemia, ...

"We have for the first time identified a group of biomarkers in the blood that are good indicators of sepsis. We have shown that it is possible to detect these markers by screening a patient's blood in the ward, a process which can deliver results within two hours. This is an extremely...
MAP is a key determinant of mean systemic filling pressure, which in turn, is the major driver of venous return and CO. Increasing MAP therefore usually results in increased tissue blood flow and augments the supply side of tissue perfusion. While some tissues, such as the brain and kidneys ...
