Sepsis: New rapid test 'could save thousands of lives' A new rapid test for earlier diagnosis of sepsis has been developed by University of Strathclyde researchers, which they say could save thousands of lives.
A microelectrode device analyses the patient's blood, with results coming through in two-and-a-half minutes.
Current diagnosis tests for sepsis can take up to 72 hours.
The researchers hope the low-cost test could come into everyday use in three to five years. BBC News
