Global Point of Care
i-STAT in the ED | SEPSIS
ACCELERATE ANSWERS. ADVANCE CARE. because every minute matters, assess sepsis risk in real-TIME WITH i-STAT LACTATE
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
Solutions
WITH SEPSIS PATIENTS, EVERY MINUTE MATTERS
accelerate sepsis response in your ed with fast, accurate results at the point of care using i-STAT CG4+
LACTATE
RESULTS IN ~2 MIN
- Evaluation of respiratory complications and determine the presence of hyperlactatemia to inform the risk stratification
i-STAT: RESULTS WITHIN MINUTES, right within the care pathway
advantages aligned to your ed priorities
- Accelerating triage
- Elevating the patient experience
- Optimizing resource utilization
- Standardizing workflows
aids assessment of illness severity
- Help identify patients at higher risk of mortality, including those with septic shock
- Eliminate the need for ice transport of samples
- Reduce the risk of mislabeled/lost specimens
sepsis is now included in bpci, A BUNDLED PERFORMANCE-BASED PAYMENT MODEL6
- In 2018, CMS added hospital sepsis performance data to its Hospital Compare web site5
THE VALUE of i-STAT lactate testing in the ED
“It’s been game-changing for me… that lactate got ordered up in triage, ...to let you know who do we need to get fluids and antibiotics on early to drive an outcome.”
- Dr. Daniel Firestone, MD, ED Physician
surviving sepsis campaign hour-1 BUNDLE-LACTATE-guided resuscitation significantly reduces mortality3
