Healthcare providers, how are you addressing the shortage in BD BACTEC blood culture media bottles? The FDA recommends prioritizing the use of blood cultures for patients with clinical signs of a bloodstream infection. SeptiCyte® RAPID, a sepsis diagnostic test, has been approved by the FDA to differentiate #sepsis from non-infectious SIRS directly from blood within 60 minutes. SeptiCyte® RAPID can directly support preserving blood culture media for patients at high sepsis risk during this critical supply shortage.

"I think that MeMed BV sets us apart by allowing us to tell the patient with some degree of certainty this is a viral infection vs. a bacterial infection. Pretty soon I'm sure Memed BV will be on every pediatric protocol." Learn how MeMed BV is bringing value to one of the leading urgent care center groups across Mississippi. Hear firsthand from Dr. Kristi Trimm on how this solution has enhanced clinical utility, improved patient satisfaction, and reduced uncertainty and unnecessary antibiotic use. #HealthcareInnovation #UrgentCare #MeMedBV #PatientCare #ClinicalUtility #AntibioticStewardship

Really interesting point outlined here regarding the prevention of unnecessary antibiotics and preserving the gut microbiome of patients. 🦠 The fine balance of the gut microbiota becomes disrupted by antibiotics, particularly broad-spectrum ones which are most commonly prescribed. This causes antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis, which has far-reaching effects from infancy to adulthood. 🗣️ MeMed BV enables accurate prescribing of antibiotics to those who really need them, and helps physicians to make faster, more informed decisions.

World Sepsis Day - Sepsis Prevention: Save Lives, Stop Suffering Sepsis is a life-threatening complication of an infection and arises when the body’s response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs. Sepsis can lead to shock, multi-organ failure and even death, especially if not recognised early and treated promptly. Let’s create awareness about Sepsis and support the patients suffering with it.

Hii connections!! CLABSI A central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is defined as the recovery of a pathogen from a blood culture in a patient who had a central line at the time of infection or within 48 hours before the development of infection. CLABSIs are preventable with proper care, cleaning, and insertion practices. They can have serious clinical consequences, including: Prolonged hospitalization Increased healthcare costs Increased mortality Sepsis Organ failure Antimicrobial-resistant infections  To prevent CLABSIs, healthcare workers, patients, and families can: Use proper aseptic techniques, Ensure the central line is inserted correctly, and Maintain the central line meticulously.  Thank-you #snsdesignthinking #snsinstitutions #designthinkers

🥸What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Sepsis? Because it can begin in different parts of your body from difference sources of infection, sepsis can have many different symptoms. The early warning signs and symptoms of sepsis include: S-Shortness of breath and elevated HR E-Extreme tiredness/fatigue P-Pale Skin S-Swelling I-Intense pain/discomfort S-Shaking, chills or fever Absent rapid treatment, sepsis can result in tissue damage, organ failure, and death. Initial sepsis treatment begins with a blood draw, cultures and imaging to confirm a Sepsis diagnosis, this process can take several days. Time is of the essence. With the SeptiCyte RAPID FDA cleared test, clinicians can make time-sensitive decisions for suspected sepsis patients within 1 hour on the molecular level, without the need to identify the pathogen, for best patient care ❤️ and outcomes and antibiotic stewardship.
