Sepsis Alliance* Beckman Coulter* & BD* present…“Sepsis & Trauma: What Frontline Providers Need to Know”

Although trends in sepsis mortality have generally improved over the years, this is not the case in the trauma population. According to a 2012-2016 analysis of the trends, cost, and mortality from sepsis after trauma in the United States, published in Critical Care Medicinein 2020, the risk of death in this population remains high. In this session, Dr. Afshar—one of the study’s co-authors—will discuss his retrospective cohort study and explore what the findings mean for frontline clinicians needing to recognize and care for sepsis patients following trauma.

Learning Objectives  |  At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

• Summarize findings of the retrospective cohort study on ‘Trends, Cost, and Mortality From Sepsis After Trauma in the United States: An Evaluation of the National Sample of Hospitalizations, 2012-2016’. 
• Restate what frontline providers need to know to recognize and care for sepsis patients after trauma.
• Describe opportunities for improvement in tracking and evaluating the effectiveness of sepsis recognition and care in patients after trauma.
