Sepsis isn’t just a hospital problem—it’s a prehospital emergency, and EMS providers are the front line. In this episode of 7 Things EMS, host Dan Limmer is joined by fire captain, educator, and Sepsis Alliance advisory board member Rom Duckworth to break down what you really need to know to identify, treat, and advocate for septic patients before they crash.
From a no-fluff explanation of the immune response to practical tips using the CHART mnemonic, Rom takes a complex topic and makes it actionable. You'll learn why sepsis isn’t always obvious, how EMS assessments can reduce mortality, what red flags to watch for, and the right time to call that sepsis alert—even when it feels like no one’s listening.
