New hope in the battle against sepsis

Paul Marik, MBBCh, Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, discovered what could be the first effective treatment for sepsis. Sepsis is the leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals, and it kills an estimated 8 million people worldwide annually.

Dr. Marik, the EVMS Foundation Distinguished Professor in Internal Medicine, has used the treatment since 2016. It is now the focus of several research studies that are testing the simple, inexpensive treatment in a range of settings.
