healthcare resources are strained

Complications such as sepsis can arise quickly in these patient populations. A patient stratification strategy including i-STAT can help you rapidy assess patients, quickly prioritize resources, and continue to deliver the highest quality care.

COMMON

Hospital admissions for sepsis have doubled over the past decade1

COSTLY

#1 inpatient cost in US hospitals, totaling >$27 billion/year2

CONSEQUENTIAL

Leading cause of US in-hospital mortality7

measuring lactate is the first step in the hour-1 bundle from the surviving sepsis campaign.3

Every hour sepsis treatment is delayed, once the patient has developed hypotension, the risk of death increases by up to

8%4

“Patients who are ultimately found to be septic who get delayed treatment have a higher mortality. This data is overwhelming."

-Dr. Frank Peacock, Emergency Medicine
