Research summary
This study aims to better predict and diagnose a complication of infection in a number of conditions. Sepsis occurs when the body's immune system has an abnormal response to infection causing one or more organs to fail. The immune and metabolic responses can be measured in blood and in breath and used to help clinicians to decide if a patient is at risk or has sepsis. This study will seek to find why these changes occur and if simpler diagnostic tests can be produced.
