Can we catch sepsis earlier?

Can pre-hospital teams catch sepsis before the hospital even sees it coming? Nicole sits down with EMS thought leader Eric Bauer to break down how tools like capnography, lactate testing, and passive leg raise are transforming early sepsis care. They dig into why respiratory rate matters more than we think, what end-tidal CO₂ can really tell us, and why protocols don’t have to mean tunnel vision. It’s a smart, field-tested look at sepsis, before the IV even starts. Featured Guest: Eric Bauer, MBA, FP-C, CCP-C (Twitter @FlightBridgeED): Executive Director of FlightBridgeED and critical care transport educator specializing in prehospital sepsis recognition, evidence-based practice, and advanced clinical training. Key Takeaways: Understand how EMS teams use tools like capnography, lactate, and respiratory rate to catch sepsis early, before the patient ever reaches the hospital. Break down what point-of-care tools can do in those critical first minutes and where they fall short. Explore the limitations EMS faces in managing antimicrobial resistance and why better communication from facilities matters. Compare how different EMS systems approach sepsis and why equipment, education, and medical direction make all the difference. — Get in Touch: info@sepsis.org Or Visit Us At: SepsisPodcast.org Connect with Nicole on Socials: @nicolekupchik Connect with Sepsis Alliance on Socials: @sepsisalliance To Learn More About Sepsis, Visit EndSuperbugs.org Produced by: Human Content and Sepsis Alliance
