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

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
