Summary

Sepsis is estimated to affect more than 30 million people globally. Detecting sepsis is notoriously difficult and there are no systems in place utilize prehospitally. In Denmark, the Mobile Emergency Care Unit (the MECU), manned by a physician and paramedic, is able to draw blood cultures and take venous lactate measurements before administering antibiotics.

This study aims to conduct a quality control on the ability of the MECU to recognize and treat sepsis by confirming the amounts of in-hospitally diagnosed cases. Furthermore the study investigates whether the blood cultures falls within an acceptable range of contamination.
