Who owns sepsis?
In this Ideas and Opinions article, the authors discuss applying to sepsis guidelines that are already in place for other conditions. They indicate that other time-critical diagnoses have evolved triaging systems to inform the urgency and intensity of therapy, and that sepsis can evolve similarly, where potentially infected patients with worrisome signs or comorbidities, such as hypotension, altered mental status, or immunosuppression, are managed with one level of urgency and intensity and less severely ill patients are managed with another.
