   What diagnostic tests are used in evaluating sepsis?

   • In addition to cultures and testing to identify causative pathogens, diagnostic tests used in evaluating sepsis include those that have proven utility in identifying systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and organ dysfunction. These tests usually include the CBC, clinical chemistry, and arterial blood gas.

   How is sepsis evaluated?

   • Sepsis is evaluated with various laboratory studies, including different biomarkers essential for diagnosis, early recognition of severity, risk stratification, and prognosis. These studies also have a role in dictating management and antibiotic stewardship.

   How is suspected sepsis treated?

   • The initial management of patients with suspected sepsis includes clinical and laboratory evaluation to identify any new or worsening organ dysfunction in patients with confirmed or suspected infection. An evaluation of the source of infection should include bacterial and viral specimens and a urinalysis.

   Jan 30, 2024 · Sepsis is the most common serious complication of infection. It affects people worldwide, but has a particularly high burden in low- and middle-income countries where resources to treat it are more limited. Estimates from 2017 suggest 48.9 million cases of sepsis occur each year, with 11 million deaths. Many patients who survive sepsis suffer long-term complications as a result.1Treatment for ...
