Sepsis: First Response

Sepsis: First Response is an educational video and training module that provides Emergency Medical Service (EMS) personnel with the tools to rapidly identify and begin treating sepsis cases in the field, as well as how to effectively coordinate with the emergency department and in-hospital colleagues.

Sepsis: First Response 60-minute training module

CME and CNE credits are now available on The Sepsis Institute, click below.

To access the 60-minute training module please click here!

CAPCE continuing education credit are available on EMS World – click here.

Why do first responders need to know about sepsis?

As many as 87% of sepsis cases originate in the patient’s community. Sepsis is the body’s life-threatening response to an infection that takes 270,000 lives a year in the United States alone. EMS are often the first medical providers to reach these cases. In fact, EMS transports as many as 60% of patients with severe sepsis arriving at the emergency department, yet many EMS are unaware of sepsis or what they should do if they suspect it.

Sepsis: First Response features:

  • Rom Duckworth, Award-Winning EMS Educator, Career Fire Captain and EMS Coordinator with 30 years of experience.
  • Lauren Epstein, MD, Medical Officer, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
  • Chris Seymour, MD, Associate Professor, Department of Critical Care Medicine, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine
