Sniffing out Sepsis - Vibes vs Scoring Systems?
Update: 2024-07-24
Description
Sepsis remains an increasingly common emergency department condition that is tied to higher morbidity and mortality across the United States as well as the rest of the world. Sepsis as a disease process has been difficult to both clearly define and quickly recognize. Many metrics for recognition and management of sepsis are dependent upon various scoring systems, including SIRS, SOFA, qSOFA, and MEWS, none of which were designed for the acute detection of sepsis within the emergency department. This journal club recap will look at an article by Knack et al looking at physician gestalt vs scoring systems for the detection of sepsis.
