The incidence of many infections that lead to sepsis are influenced by the seasons and weather. As the global climate warms, the impact on the incidence of sepsis caused by multiple pathogens, the global distribution of disease, as well as sepsis outcomes will likely be substantial. This session will discuss how weather impacts both pathogens and the host response in sepsis to influence sepsis risk and outcomes.
Presentations in this session: Hidden Risk of Dirty Air: Ambient Air Pollution and ARDS - John Reilly, MD, MS Summer, Sun, and Sepsis: The Impact of Heat, Humidity, and Season on Sepsis - Tina Chen, MD Hurricanes, Fires, & Pandemics: A Changing Climate's Impact on Critical Care Medicine - Laura Evans, MD
