The SOS AMS (Save Our Supply Antimicrobial Stewardship) podcast brings you brief evidence reviews on major infections that contribute significantly to antimicrobial use in clinical practice, all in under 30 minutes. We explore key topics like distinguishing infection from non-infectious mimickers, a microbiology and antibiotics primer, AECOPD, CAP, HAP, Cellulitis, UTIs, Intraabdominal infections, Sepsis NYD, and Bacteremia. Working through learning objectives, we review the pathophysiology of these conditions, best evidence in management, and apply principles learned to patient cases. Written by an ID AMS pharmacist, reviewed by ID AMS physicians, and co-hosted with an ER nurse, these podcasts bring a Canadian AMS perspective to commonly encountered infections.

This episode of the SOS AMS podcast focuses on the ID/AMS side of sepsis and septic shock. Our hosts distinguish sepsis and septic shock from infection with systemic features, and bacteremia, both of which are commonly incorrectly referred to as sepsis in practice. They discuss an approach to identifying the source of sepsis in a patient with sepsis NYD, with emphasis on localizing symptoms, investigations, and what to do in the absence of localizing symptoms. They discuss the challenge in finding a balance between good stewardship and the use of aggressive antimicrobial therapy given the high mortality associated with sepsis. They then end the podcast by applying principles discussed to a case of nosocomial sepsis NYD. Relevant references can be accessed at the provided hyperlink.
The learning objectives for the podcast are:
Distinguish between sepsis, septic shock, infection with systemic features, and bacteremia.
Describe the work-up of a patient with sepsis unclear source.
Discuss considerations for appropriate empiric therapy for a patient with sepsis NYD.
Apply this knowledge to a patient case
