New Technology Could Help Diagnose Sepsis in Hours
Researchers have developed a microfluidics chip that detected mock-sepsis conditions within a few hours, instead of at least two days by currently used methods. As sepsis left untreated can be fatal in as little as two days, a rapid blood test would provide medical professionals with a critical window of time in which to begin early antibiotics treatment of diagnosed patients.
