On a worldwide basis, sepsis causes 20% of all deaths. Connie Schaefer, an LNC, registered nurse. She is also an infection preventionist, describes this huge problem and what’s being done to prevent infections in healthcare.

Speed of diagnosis and also treatment are essential in order to control and cure a septic condition. This is the primary area that makes a difference in handling this condition. Many obstacles can prevent this. Not noticing sepsis is the first problem, but when samples are taken, the skin must be correctly cleaned in order to prevent contamination. Another issue is poor communication between hospital departments.

Connie describes the many variables in diagnosis and treatment of sepsis. In big hospitals, serious conditions are automatically flagged, which enables the providers to respond more quickly.

She also describes what are commonly known as superbugs, those which are resistant to most or also all antibiotics. Treating them is challenging, but the greater challenge is to make sure that they don’t get out into the larger world.

Sepsis is often an issue for medical malpractice, and Connie recommends going through the records very thoroughly, with special emphasis on lab records.

This issue is sure to come into your professional life, and the podcast will give you a deeper understanding of the issues involved.
