Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death and causes ~20% of all global deaths. Research into quite literally anything that might give additional help to treating it is so obviously one of the most beneficial things we could be doing in terms of medical research that reading your post sounds completely foreign to me. ------- Many cases of sepsis are relatively predictable in that they already know that this person is at high risk of it due to their condition or the type of intervention that's going to be required for their condition. We're just not that great at stopping it from occurring with the tools currently available - antibiotics are not sufficient to solve/prevent it like you seem to think they are, or there'd be a lot less people dying of it. ----- Presumably, if this research panned out in many additional trials, it's something that might be added to treatment protocols. Even if it turned out to be useful but had limitations like being needed to be administered days in advance - there would still be significant utility for a lot of medically necessary but not immediate high-risk surgeries.
