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.
