New On-Demand Offering: “Sepsis: First Response”

Sepsis Alliancepresents…”Sepsis: First Response”

As many as 87% of sepsis cases originate in the patient’s community. Sepsis is the body’s life-threatening response to an infection that takes 270,000 lives a year in the United States alone. EMS are often the first medical providers to reach these cases. In fact, EMS transports as many as 60% of patients with severe sepsis arriving at the emergency department, yet many EMS are unaware of sepsis or what they should do if they suspect it.  Sepsis: First Response is an educational video and training module that provides Emergency Medical Service (EMS) personnel with the tools to rapidly identify and begin treating sepsis cases in the field, as well as how to effectively coordinate with the emergency department and in-hospital colleagues.

Presenters:

Rom Duckworth | MS Educator | Career Fire Captain and EMS Coordinator

Lauren Epstein, M.D. | Medical Officer, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Chris Seymour, M.D. | Associate Professor, Department of Critical Care Medicine, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine
