Although many people haven\u2019t heard of sepsis, it causes 1 in 5 deaths each year because certain signs of the serious medical emergency often go undetected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Traditional work to improve sepsis detection and treatment has targeted the hospital setting but has led to minimal progress in reducing the incidence of sepsis. Two critical care doctors and researchers, Emily Brant and Kristina E. Rudd with the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, are working to spread awareness amongst scientists and doctors about how sepsis begins, how community factors make an impact, and how everyday people and health care workers can detect and stop this deadly disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sepsis is the body\u2019s extreme response to infection and occurs when immune cells in your body pivot from fighting an infection to attacking your own organs and tissues. Sepsis can cause the immune system to commonly injure the heart, lungs, kidneys, or other important body systems. This can cause inflammation in blood vessels and result in dangerously low blood pressure, septic shock and death. \u201cOnce shock develops, mortality from sepsis is estimated to jump from 10% to as high as 40%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Symptoms of sepsis vary amongst patients and nearly always require admission to the hospital, ICU, or require life support. After symptoms are detected and the source of the infection is identified, treatment consists of administering antibiotics and fluids or in surgical removal of the infected tissues or organs. \u201cDelaying sepsis treatment by even a few hours can have deadly consequences,\u201d according to the article.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dr. Brant and Dr. Rudd are examining community factors to enhance sepsis detection and better understand sepsis risk. In conjunction with researchers from Kaiser Permanente Northern California, they are working \u201cto advance sepsis care by studying sepsis patient symptoms, community factors, diagnosis and treatment patterns outside the hospital\u201d and also to \u201cimprove sepsis diagnosis among hospitalized patients.\u201d This collaboration will study patients from over 40 hospitals, 30 EMS agencies and many ambulatory clinics to help diagnose, treat and stop sepsis before it progresses too far.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/sepsis-still-kills-1-in-5-people-worldwide-two-icu-physicians-offer-a-new-approach-to-stopping-it-175650\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to view this article.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">June 2022<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_1 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #1e73be;\">TRADUCCI\u00d3N DE GOOGLE:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>La sepsis todav\u00eda mata a 1 de cada 5 personas en todo el mundo: dos m\u00e9dicos de la UCI ofrecen un nuevo enfoque para detenerla<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Seg\u00fan un art\u00edculo compartido recientemente por The Conversation, la sepsis es la principal causa de muerte de pacientes hospitalizados en los Estados Unidos. Aunque muchas personas no han o\u00eddo hablar de la sepsis, causa 1 de cada 5 muertes cada a\u00f1o porque ciertos signos de emergencia m\u00e9dica grave a menudo pasan desapercibidos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">El trabajo tradicional para mejorar la detecci\u00f3n y el tratamiento de la sepsis se ha centrado en el entorno hospitalario, pero ha llevado a un progreso m\u00ednimo en la reducci\u00f3n de la incidencia de la sepsis. Dos m\u00e9dicas e investigadoras de cuidados intensivos, Emily Brant y Kristina E. Rudd de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Pittsburgh, est\u00e1n trabajando para crear conciencia entre cient\u00edficos y m\u00e9dicos sobre c\u00f3mo comienza la sepsis, c\u00f3mo los factores comunitarios tienen un impacto y c\u00f3mo la gente com\u00fan y la salud los trabajadores de la salud pueden detectar y detener esta enfermedad mortal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">La sepsis es la respuesta extrema del cuerpo a la infecci\u00f3n y ocurre cuando las c\u00e9lulas inmunitarias de su cuerpo pasan de combatir una infecci\u00f3n a atacar sus propios \u00f3rganos y tejidos. La sepsis puede causar que el sistema inmunitario da\u00f1e com\u00fanmente el coraz\u00f3n, los pulmones, los ri\u00f1ones u otros sistemas importantes del cuerpo. Esto puede causar inflamaci\u00f3n en los vasos sangu\u00edneos y provocar una presi\u00f3n arterial peligrosamente baja, un shock s\u00e9ptico y la muerte. \u201cUna vez que se desarrolla el shock, se estima que la mortalidad por sepsis salta del 10% al 40%\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Los s\u00edntomas de la sepsis var\u00edan entre los pacientes y casi siempre requieren ingreso en el hospital, UCI o soporte vital. Una vez que se detectan los s\u00edntomas y se identifica la fuente de la infecci\u00f3n, el tratamiento consiste en la administraci\u00f3n de antibi\u00f3ticos y l\u00edquidos o en la extirpaci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica de los tejidos u \u00f3rganos infectados. \u201cRetrasar el tratamiento de la sepsis incluso unas pocas horas puede tener consecuencias mortales\u201d, seg\u00fan el art\u00edculo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">El Dr. Brant y el Dr. Rudd est\u00e1n examinando los factores de la comunidad para mejorar la detecci\u00f3n de sepsis y comprender mejor el riesgo de sepsis. Junto con investigadores de Kaiser Permanente del Norte de California, est\u00e1n trabajando &#8220;para avanzar en la atenci\u00f3n de la sepsis mediante el estudio de los s\u00edntomas de los pacientes con sepsis, los factores comunitarios, el diagn\u00f3stico y los patrones de tratamiento fuera del hospital&#8221; y tambi\u00e9n para &#8220;mejorar el diagn\u00f3stico de la sepsis entre los pacientes hospitalizados&#8221;.
