1. Lack of appropriate sepsis management knowledge at the bedside leads to delayed symptom recognition, serious complications, medical errors, increased treatment costs, and avoidable morbidity and mortality.
2. It is also a serious problem in hospitals throughout the US and the world. In 2013, 1. 3 million people were admitted to US hospitals for sepsis (#1 cause of index admissions! ) at a total cost to the US healthcare system of $23. 7 billion dollars (#1 most expensive condition! ).
3. Sepsis is a serious systemic infection that can quickly lead to circulatory shock, organ failure and death if inappropriately treated.
4. Despite its large toll on public health, public awareness of this condition is poor and the quality of treatment is highly variable often due to late recognition and treatment.
5. For this reason, we created this app to provide busy health professionals with essential management information based on the latest practice guidelines in a format that is easily accessible at the point of care.
6. Successful treatment hinges on prompt recognition of symptoms, correct antibiotic administration, and hemodynamic stabilization.
7. Over 250,000 people die of sepsis in the US every year, more than from prostate cancer, breast cancer and AIDS combined.
8. The Sepsis app features search, annotation, bookmarking functions and calculator support.
9. In sepsis, time is of the essence.
10. All content is extensively referenced and footnoted where appropriate, and periodically updated.
