To determine whether and to what extent simple screening tools might identify nursing home (NH) residents who are at high risk of becoming septic. Design Retrospective chart audit of all residents who had been hospitalized and returned to participating NHs during the study period. Setting and Parti...

We identified that sepsis management in Wales (according to sepsis screening tool application and ‘Sepsis Six’ bundle compliance) has not altered over the four-year study period and that mortality remain largely unchanged. We found the demographic of the study population remained the same for each...
Staff are using sepsis screening tools which help identify sepsis in patients at very early stages, meaning life saving treatment can be given much earlier. Patients are being treated with the "sepsis six" care bundle which consists of three quick tests for sepsis and three simple treatments th...

The WHO and the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have issued preliminary guidance on infection control, screening and diagnosis in the general population, but there is limited guidance on the acute management of critically ill patients with severe illness due to COVID-...
Greater Manchester & Eastern Cheshire Patient Safety Collaborative hosted an event to explore the rationale for developing a standardised approach to identifying and managing patients with ‘Suspicion of Sepsis’.
In this group, CD64 was calculated to have an AUC of 0.88, and the authors suggested that it could be used for screening for bacterial infections. Recent work by Ghonge and co-workers [100] measured CD64 in 37 specimens from eight patients using a novel smartphone-based technique. ...
In vitro methods including organ-on-chip may offer insight into sepsis management and allow for improved therapeutic screening [108]. Organ-on-chip or 3-D biomimetic microfluidic assays are a combination of microfluidic and tissue engineering, designed to synthesize the cell organization and physical...
