THE IMPORTANCE OF SCREENING
KEY CONCEPTS OF SEPSIS
Sepsis-induced organ dysfunction may be occult; therefore, its presence should be considered in any patient presenting with infection.
Unrecognized infection may be the cause of new-onset organ dysfunction. Any unexplained organ dysfunction should thus raise the possibility of underlying infection.
