Abstract

COVID-19 Viral Sepsis: Impact on Disparities, Disability, and Health Outcomes introduces the concepts of viral sepsis, its origins, and its implications. COVID-19 is a leading cause of viral sepsis with considerable impact on morbidity and mortality. Early recognition of signs and symptoms of COVID-19 can potentially impact patient outcomes. The book opens with an overview of sepsis and viral sepsis. The discussion continues with an introduction to COVID-19 and related topics on its epidemiology, diagnosis, clinical manifestations, mild to moderate disease management, and the critical care treatment of COVID-19 patients. Sequelae of COVID-19, long-term consequences, challenges, current landscape, and future preparedness round out the coverage. COVID-19 Viral Sepsis: Impact on Disparities, Disability, and Health Outcomes is a valuable resource with contributions from experts on the front line of the COVID-19 crisis providing insight and key principles in the recognition, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of sepsis due to COVID-19.

Abstract

Offering a global, multidisciplinary perspective on this life-threatening medical emergency, The Sepsis Codex provides a concise yet comprehensive look at a complex topic. Nearly 20% of global deaths are attributed to sepsis annually, nearly half of which are in children under the age of five, with low-resource settings being disproportionately affected. A "one size fits all" approach is not sufficient to meet individual patients' needs, instead requiring a therapeutic approach that considers different ages, predisposing factors, genetic traits, and more. This cutting-edge resource brings you up to date with recent medical advances in this challenging area. Covers pathophysiology, early detection, biomarkers and diagnosis, therapies, controversies, future research, the use of AI, professional organizations and public health in sepsis. Includes chapters on sepsis in special populations such as in pregnant women, transplanted patients, and children. Consolidates today's available information on this timely topic into a single, convenient resource.
