How can precision diagnostics improve sepsis outcomes? Today, on November 4, 2026, the Global Sepsis Alliance will host a World Sepsis Congress Satellite Session, sponsored by Danaher, bringing together international experts and a sepsis survivor to explore advances in sepsis diagnosis and their potential to save lives.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition in which early and accurate diagnosis is critical. Yet, despite advances in medical technology, diagnosing sepsis remains challenging. Its diverse clinical presentations, the limitations of current diagnostic approaches, and the need to identify infections and understand individual host responses underscore the need for better diagnostic strategies.

Precision diagnostics offer opportunities to improve how sepsis is recognized, characterized, and treated. This free online session will examine emerging technologies and approaches, from host-response biomarkers and immune signatures to rapid molecular diagnostics and the integration of diagnostic data into clinical decision-making.

Participants will hear from leading experts in sepsis research and clinical care, as well as a sepsis survivor, and explore how diagnostic innovations could support earlier intervention, more targeted antimicrobial treatment, and better patient outcomes.

---

Program and Speakers

The 90-minute session will be moderated by our very own Simone Mancini of the Global Sepsis Alliance, and will feature the following presentations:

The Patient Perspective: Earlier and More Accurate Diagnosis Save Lives
Shahrzad Kiavash, Sepsis Survivor and Paralympic Triathlete, Sweden

The session opens with a personal perspective on sepsis and the importance of timely, accurate diagnosis.

Global Sepsis Alliance Experts at the Forefront of Scientific Discussions

Dr. Mariam Jashi, who also served as a Conference Co-Chair, opened the international sepsis session with a presentation entitled “2030 Global Agenda for Sepsis”. Her presentation placed sepsis within the broader global health agenda, highlighting the importance of coordinated international action and sustained efforts to improve sepsis prevention, recognition, and management.

Prof. Evangelos J. Giamarellos-Bourboulis, Chair of the European Sepsis Alliance (ESA) and GSA Board Member contributed two presentations: “Precision Immunotherapy: An Emerging Hope for Sepsis Management” and “Macrolides for Severe Pneumonia”. His contributions brought attention to innovative treatment strategies and evolving approaches to managing severe infections.

Prof. Djillali Annane, Member of the ESA Executive Committee delivered two important presentations addressing key challenges in sepsis care: “The Use of Corticosteroids in Sepsis” and “Long-Term Sequelae of Sepsis”. These topics highlighted both the complexities of acute sepsis treatment and the importance of recognizing the lasting consequences of sepsis for patients and healthcare systems.

Prof. Antonio Artigas, GSA Board Member and Member of ESA Executive Committee presented “New Insights of Cell Therapy in Sepsis and ARDS”, exploring emerging therapeutic approaches, and “Early Diagnosis of Sepsis in the Emergency Room”, emphasizing the critical role of timely recognition and intervention in improving patient outcomes.

Prof. Manu Malbrain, Vice Chair of European Sepsis Alliance, addressed important aspects of both sepsis treatment and critical care practice through his presentations “The Role for Natural Agents with Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidative Properties in Sepsis? Potential Usefulness of Xanthohumol” and “The Role of Human Factors and Leadership When Implementing Sepsis Stewardship”. His contributions highlighted the importance of exploring novel therapeutic approaches while strengthening clinical leadership and implementation practices.

Advancing Sepsis Care Through International Collaboration

Beyond the contributions of GSA experts, Geoanesthesia 2026 featured a comprehensive scientific program addressing sepsis management, septic shock, emerging biomarkers, organ dysfunction, critical care rehabilitation, and prevention.

Additional presentations explored the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines, extracorporeal life support for refractory sepsis, post-intensive care syndrome, and the challenges of translating scientific advances into everyday clinical practice.

The conference also included parallel scientific sessions dedicated to modern anesthesiology and ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, providing a multidisciplinary platform for professional education and collaboration.

Strengthening the Global Response to Sepsis

The participation of GSA experts at Geoanesthesia 2026 reflected the importance of bringing global sepsis expertise into regional scientific forums and strengthening connections between international specialists and local healthcare communities.

Through discussions spanning the 2030 Global Agenda for Sepsis, early diagnosis, precision immunotherapy, innovative treatments, long-term outcomes, and sepsis stewardship, the conference highlighted the need for a comprehensive approach to sepsis that extends from prevention and early recognition to acute management and long-term recovery.

The Global Sepsis Alliance welcomes opportunities for scientific exchange and international collaboration that contribute to greater sepsis awareness, stronger healthcare systems, and improved outcomes for patients worldwide.

The Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA) and the Medical Women’s International Association (MWIA) are joining forces for a global webinar to explore ways to improve sepsis prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment for women and girls. Celebrating MWIA’s 107th anniversary, the event will bring together international experts to discuss the intersection of sepsis, women’s health, rapid diagnostics, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Titled “Transforming Sepsis Care in Women: Rapid Diagnostics for Early Diagnosis, AMR Management, and Treatment,” the webinar will highlight the often-under-recognized impact of sepsis on women and girls throughout their lives, from adolescence and the reproductive years through pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum care, and older age.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition responsible for an estimated 48.9 million cases and 11 million deaths worldwide each year. Maternal sepsis remains an important cause of preventable maternal morbidity and mortality, underscoring the need for earlier recognition, timely intervention, and effective treatment. Rapid diagnostics and appropriate antimicrobial stewardship are essential to improving outcomes and addressing the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
