CNR4All Misura simultanea di marcatori della sepsi in pazienti in terapia intensiva
Sepsis is the highest cause of mortality in intensive care units and is surely one of the pathologies for which the concept of Point of Care Testing - the capability of performing the measurements of the analytes of clinical interest close to the patient bed and not in central laboratories - is better appropriate. As a matter of fact, it has been demonstrated that delays of also a few minutes until administration of an effective antibiotic treatment in septic shock, can lead to a significant increase of mortality if the origin of the inflammatory process is bacterial. The fast discrimination between viral and bacterial sepsis and, in case, the immediate identification of the correct antibiotic therapy is fundamental for the patient survival. In the complex clinical picture of septic patients, biomarkers can provide supportive and supplemental data to clinical assessment.
