Identifying Sepsis in the Prehospital Setting

Four Strategies EMS Teams Can Use to Improve Sepsis Detection

With more than 50% of sepsis cases transported by first responders, the time to get prehospital care right is now. Early diagnosis is the key to a successful patient outcome, but only 61% of EMS practitioners are well versed in sepsis symptoms.

  • Know the Common Signs of Sepsis  
  • Use Cost-Effective Tools for Diagnosis  
  • Give the ED Advanced Warning  
  • Be a Vocal Advocate for Your Patient
