Präklinische Früherkennung und Diagnostik der Sepsis – Schritt für Schritt

Wegen der oftmals sehr unspezifischen Sepsissymptome ist die Früherkennung des Notfalls Sepsis schwierig. Rechtzeitiges Erkennen ermöglicht es, Diagnostik und Therapie der Erkrankung zügig einzuleiten. Eine schnelle Behandlung der Sepsis führt zu einer geringeren Sterblichkeit und weniger schweren Langzeitfolgen. Die Früherkennung hat daher im diagnostischen und therapeutischen Prozess auch im ambulanten Bereich eine ganz zentrale Bedeutung.

Abstract

Because of very unspecific sepsis symptoms, early recognition of the emergency sepsis is difficult. If the disease is recognized in time it is possible to initiate diagnosis and treatment quickly. Rapid treatment of sepsis leads to lower mortality and less severe long-term consequences. Early detection is therefore of central importance in the diagnostic and therapeutic process, also in the outpatient setting.
