Código Sepsis Interhospitalario en Catalunya: modelo organizativo territorial para la atención inicial al paciente con sepsis / Interhospital Sepsis Code in Catalonia (Spain): Territorial model for initial care of patients with sepsis

La sepsis es una entidad sindrómica de elevada prevalencia y mortalidad. Su manejo está estandarizado y tiene una eficacia dependiente del tiempo. Sin embargo, el manejo de los pacientes con sepsis es complejo. La heterogeneidad de las formas de presentación puede dificultar su detección y manejo, así como las diferencias en formación, competencias o disponibilidad de recursos sanitarios. La Comisión Asesora para la Atención al PAciente con Sepsis (CAAPAS), formada por 7 sociedades científicas, el Sistema de Emergencias Médicas (SEM) y el Servei Català de la Salut (CatSalut), han desarrollado en Catalunya el Código Sepsis Interhospitalario (CSI). El objetivo general del CSI es facilitar la detección precoz, la atención inicial y la coordinación interhospitalaria para optimizar el tratamiento de los pacientes con sepsis o shock séptico en formato código de riesgo vital, de forma homogénea a lo largo de todo el territorio catalán

Sepsis is a syndromic entity with high prevalence and mortality. The management of sepsis is standardized and exhibits time-dependent efficiency. However, the management of patients with sepsis is complex. The heterogeneity of the forms of presentation can make it difficult to detect and manage such cases, in the same way as differences in training, professional competences or the availability of health resources. The Advisory Commission for Patient Care with Sepsis (CAAPAS), comprising 7 scientific societies, the Emergency Medical System (SEM) and the Catalan Health Service (CatSalut), have developed the Interhospital Sepsis Code (CSI) in Catalonia (Spain). The general objective of the CSI is to increase awareness, promote early detection and facilitate initial care and interhospital coordination to attend septic patients in a homogeneous manner throughout Catalonia
