Abstract
A method for determining a risk of sepsis in a patient is disclosed. The method includes collecting an exhaled breath sample, determining a NO concentration in the exhaled breath sample; and determining a sepsis risk score correlated to the NO concentration, wherein the sepsis risk score is indicative of a risk of a patient having or developing sepsis. The method may further include determining an additional measurement of the patient's vital statistics including one or more of: end tidal CO, respiratory rate, pulse rate, body temperature, cognitive assessment score, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, or hemoglobin oxygen saturation level, and further determining the sepsis risk score based on the additional measurement.
