Septris 2.0 | Simulated Education to Teach Providers to Recognize and Treat Sepsis

Friday, September 1, 2023, 12:00 AM - Monday, August 31, 2026, 11:59 PM, On Demand

Internet Enduring Material sponsored by Stanford University School of Medicine. Presented by Stanford University School of Medicine and Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV). Sepsis is a serious medical condition caused by the body’s overactive and extreme response to infection. Septic states have become far too common; with an unacceptable 24 million adults developing sepsis worldwide with lengthy hospital stays and 7.7 million deaths as a result, it is one of the most costly conditions to treat.

Septris 2.0 is a mobile-accessible, case-based, online game launched worldwide and developed for hospital-based medical and surgical, intensive care and emergency department physicians and nurses. Play Septris 2.0 to test your skills while applying a practical approach to early sepsis identification and application of evidence-based management (best practice) and evidence-based guidelines. Interactive case scenarios will be used to put these principles into practice and simulate care in real-time.
