Beckman Coulter has announced its exclusive sponsorship of the ESCAVO Sepsis Clinical Guide (Sepsis app), a point-of-care medical reference mobile application for healthcare professionals who manage septic patients in acute-care settings. Beckman Coulter\u2019s sponsorship of the Sepsis app ensures this important tool will remain free for all users and that content will continue to be maintained and updated using the latest clinical practice standards.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that requires prompt recognition and treatment. Delayed treatment can rapidly cause cardiovascular collapse, tissue damage, organ failure and death. More than a million people are diagnosed with sepsis each year in the United States alone; the dangerous condition causes 250,000 deaths. Approximately 665,000 adults and 100,000 children visit the emergency department with sepsis-related symptoms. Patients presenting with sepsis can be in grave danger when encountering long emergency room wait times or a lack of effective or timely screening and triage protocols.
\u201cWhile great strides have been made in standardizing sepsis treatment in recent years, there is still considerable variability in the quality of care among hospitals,\u201d says Daniel Nichita, M.D., founder of ESCAVO and author of the Sepsis Clinical Guide mobile app. \u201cOne reason for this is the difficulty of diagnosing this complex disorder whose early symptoms are often very subtle and for which there is no definitive test, but also an uneven use of current clinical practice standards in sepsis care. ESCAVO developed the Sepsis app to put critical information on sepsis management\u2014based on the most current clinical practice guidelines\u2014in the hands of busy clinicians, who may not always have the time to familiarize themselves with current trends. Its content is delivered in a concise, actionable format to allow rapid but effective clinical decision-making at the point of care.\u201d
The Sepsis app can benefit all medical professionals; however, it is especially valuable for those working in the emergency room, where sepsis most commonly first presents.
Healthcare providers can download the Sepsis Clinical Guide app from Google Play for Android devices, or from the App Store for the iOS platform. To find the app, users can search \u201csepsis.\u201d The Sepsis Clinical Guide is recognizable by an orange-colored icon, and, as the top-ranked sepsis-related app, it appears first in the search results.
