September 13 is World Sepsis Day
In honor of September 13 being World Sepsis Day, we want to share some important information about this life threatening condition which affects all too many people.
Improving the treatment of sepsis has two facets. First, prevention is key. Frequent handwashing has been proven to reduce the rate of sepsis in the healthcare environment. Second, early identification has a significant impact upon survival and decreases long term morbidities associated with surviving sepsis.
The World Sepsis Foundation has lots of very useful information about how you can make a difference. Especially on World Sepsis Day, please take a look at their website and consider a donation.
The CDC has recently started their Vital Signs campaign, #vitalsigns, to remind us of the practices that healthcare workers can implement to reduce the impact of this life threatening complication. They have prepared a useful booklet that summarizes what you should do.
UCSD issues a press article regarding adding HeRO to the NICU.
In the August 2016 issue of Neonatology today, the University of California San Diego talks about the addition of HeRO to their unit.

About HeRO
HeRO® is a pioneering monitoring system for premature infants that detects early signs of distress, commonly caused by infection and other potentially life-threatening illnesses. HeRO generates an hourly numeric score that quantifies the prevalence of abnormal patterns in each patient’s heart rate and provides a new tool for clinical assessment so that standard diagnostic and therapeutic decisions are better founded. In a long-running randomized study of over 3,000 preterm infants, those whose care included the HeRO monitor, experienced greater than 20 percent reduced mortality, effectively saving one infant’s life for every 48 who were monitored.
About MPSC
MPSC is an entrepreneurial medical device company that translates ICU research discoveries to the patient’s bedside. The company develops predictive technology that detects imminent, catastrophic illness. MPSC’s HeRO monitor is the first of a line of products to monitor in-hospital patients.
