简要总结
Given the implementation of the Hamilton Early Warning Score (HEWS) and the use of capnography by paramedics, this study will involve a large multi-site retrospective evaluation (before vs after implementation) of the HEWS score and comparison of the HEWS to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), quick Sepsis Related Organ failure Assessment (qSOFA) and Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) when applied retrospectively for the identification of sepsis in the prehospital setting.
详细描述
- To determine the accuracy of the HEWS score, compared to qSOFA, and SIRS for early sepsis recognition when used in the prehospital setting by paramedics for the identification of patients with sepsis or suspected sepsis.
- To evaluate the addition of ETCO2 values to predict mortality in patients who screen positive for sepsis.
- To identify the before and after healthcare outcomes of a prehospital sepsis alert program.

入选标准
- •Any patient to which paramedics apply the Hamilton Early Warning Score or patients who arrive to the Emergency Department (ED) by ambulance without a pre-alert and meet the definition of sepsis in the ED will also be included, and patient is ≥ 18 years
排除标准
- •Patient is an inter-facility transfer, or patients with absent vital signs are absent, or death before blood can be drawn in the Emergency Department, or the patient fits the criteria for another prehospital alert (ST-elevation myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular vascular accident, or trauma)
