What you don’t track, you can’t fix, and too often, we’re not even looking. Nicole is joined by sepsis survivors Dr. Hilary Spangler and Jackie Duda, along with pediatric ICU nurse-scientist Dr. Mallory Perry-Eaddy, for a raw conversation about what happens after survival. From missed red flags in special populations to long-term trauma and broken feedback loops, this episode is a wake-up call for teams ready to see the full picture of sepsis care.
Featured Guests:
Hillary Spangler, MD (@http://linkedin.com/in/hillary-spangler): Internal medicine physician and health systems innovator focused on hospital quality, sepsis diagnostics, and patient-centered care.
Mallory Perry-Eaddy, PhD, RN, CCRN (@ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallory-perry/): Critical care nurse scientist and sepsis researcher studying ICU survivorship, racial disparities, and long-term recovery.
Jackie Duda, Sepsis Survivor and Advocate (@jackiesjourney4): Sepsis survivor and advocate raising awareness of post-sepsis challenges and the vital role of caregiver voices in healthcare transformation.
Key Takeaways:
Understand why patients living with chronic disease (such as pediatrics, older adults, and the immunocompromised) need tailored approaches for infection prevention, AMR, and sepsis care.
Recognize age- and population-specific pathogens—and why empiric antibiotic decisions carry different risks for different groups.
Learn how antimicrobial stewardship can help protect vulnerable patients long-term by preserving their microbiome and slowing resistance.
Explore how vaccination and proactive prevention strategies can play a frontline role in managing AMR and sepsis—especially in high-risk groups.
Dive into the lasting impacts of AMR and sepsis in specialty populations and how those outcomes shape clinical decisions, recovery, and future risk.
