Pulse Photoplethysmography as an Early Tool for the Diagnosis of Sepsis

Early management of sepsis is associated with better outcome. However, this requires early recognition of the sepsis host. One recently developed customized pulse photoplethysmography (PPG) device manages to measure nitric oxide (NO) that is released from vascular endothelium and seems promising for earlier sepsis diagnosis than conventional approaches. Aim of the project To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the PPG device for the early diagnosis of sepsis is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the PPG device for the early diagnosis of sepsis
