Sepsis and the Glycocalyx
Update: 2017-09-15
Description
This episode is focused on sepsis. I also talk about the relevance of the glycocalyx. And emphasise how much extrapolation there is from human medicine to veterinary practice.
Topics covered include:
- Long-standing sepsis definitions and recently suggested updates
- History of sepsis management in human medicine; including early-goal directed therapy and Surviving Sepsis Campaign
- Recent large scale human trials: ProCESS (USA), ARISE (Australasia), ProMISe (UK)
- Key steps for managing the septic veterinary patient
- The glycocalyx: what it is, what it does, why it is relevant, implications for practice
