Part III of Dr. Rivers' talk on Severe Sepsis

Dr. Emanuel Rivers brought the concept of aggressive therapies for sepsis down to the Emergency Department with his seminal article on EGDT published in the NEJM in 2001. We were lucky enough to get an hour of his time to do a conference call with the NYC STOP Sepsis collaborative.

I broke the ~1 hour lecture into 3 parts.

If you haven't already, check out Part I and Part II.

In Part III, Dr. Rivers discusses:

*  Protein C?

* Can you do EGDT in small community EDs?

* How do you handle the tachycardic patient with severe sepsis?

* Steroids in the ED?

* Procalcitonin?
