GE Healthcare's Online Sepsis Education Program Stresses Early Recognition And Care
GE Healthcare"s Trends in Sepsis Management online program - based on the six-year Surviving Sepsis Campaign - is designed to engage clinicians in real-life situations involving the identification and treatment of sepsis. Sepsis is the body"s response to infection, which, in more severe forms, can lead to potentially deadly systemic blood vessel inflammation and clotting, organ shutdown and cardiovascular system failure. The rate of severe sepsis cases is expected to rise to one million cases per year by 2010, as the average age of the population increases, the SSC predicts.
