Chapter 27.5 - Unbundling the bundle - Part two of sepsis

Dr. Casey Clements spent two hours breaking down the history and influences in sepsis care over the past three decades and going through the best practices in today's emergency medicine. This is the second part of the two part series. Do you know how Sepsis is defined currently? What is the difference between SEP - 1 and surviving sepsis campaign? What is the role of steroids or vitamin C? Can you resuscitate these patients with albumin? These and so many more questions will be answered in this two part series. We review the PROCESS, PROMISE, and ARISE trials and provide pragmatic approach to your septic patients.  So join Venk like vancomycin, and Alex (aka Zosyn) and Casey "not-cidal" Clements in these amazing episodes.   CONTACTS X - @AlwaysOnEM; @VenkBellamkonda YouTube - @AlwaysOnEM; @VenkBellamkonda Instagram – @AlwaysOnEM; @Venk_like_vancomycin; @ASFinch Email - [email protected] REFERENCES & LINKS Intravascular volume assessment Azadian M, Win S, Abdipour A, et al.
