Bedside Flexible Cystoscopy-Guided Ureteric Stent Insertion for Early Control of Sepsis

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that needs the clinician to act quickly and swiftly in order to provide the best medical outcome for the patient. Sepsis can lead to multi-organ dysfunction, which is not only a risk to life but also utilizes multiple resources within the healthcare services. T...

description Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that needs the clinician to act quickly and swiftly in order to provide the best medical outcome for the patient. Sepsis can lead to multi-organ dysfunction, which is not only a risk to life but also utilizes multiple resources within the healthcare services. The management of any infection is reliant on two major factors: antimicrobial therapy and source control. We present two cases where source control, in the form of a ureteric stent insertion, was performed at bedside via the use of flexible cystoscopy to provide source control in the management of a septic patient.
