Delve into the critical challenges of sepsis management in resource-limited settings with Professor Machado's insightful interview. This video offers valuable perspectives on overcoming barriers to effective sepsis care in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), providing practical strategies for adapting evidence-based protocols to resource-constrained environments.

A 2020 study published in The Lancet* revealed that sepsis affects approximately 49 million people annually and is responsible for 11 million deaths worldwide, with 65% of cases occurring in low- and middle-income countries. This staggering burden emphasizes the critical need for improved sepsis management strategies.
