Forget everything you ever read in a textbook when it comes to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and sepsis complications – because they rarely play by the rules. They evolve, adapt, and strike before it’s too late. While classic symptoms like fever, tachycardia, and hypotension are well known, the real challenge lies in recognizing the unexpected to reduce your mental list of those unknown, unknowns.
Hosted by Critical Care RN & CNS Author Nicole Kupchik, The Sepsis Spectrum is an exploration of real-world patient cases, expert insights, and clinical deep dives to unravel the most complex presentations facing modern medicine. Through gripping stories and in-depth interviews, Nicole examines diagnostic challenges, cutting-edge treatments, and the growing threat of AMR.
Designed for healthcare professionals at every level, The Sepsis Spectrum is about leaving you with more than compelling stories—it’s a vital resource in podcast form. Whether you’re at the bedside or in the classroom, you’ll finish each episode with practical, life-saving knowledge—and earn free CE Contact Hours for Nurses along the way.
The fight against sepsis and AMR starts with recognition — because the most dangerous threats are the ones you don’t see coming.

What you don’t track, you can’t fix, and too often, we’re not even looking. Nicole is joined by sepsis survivors Dr. Hilary Spangler and Jackie Duda, along with pediatric ICU nurse-scientist Dr. Mallory Perry-Eaddy, for a raw conversation about what happens after survival. From missed red flags in special populations to long-term trauma and broken feedback loops, this episode is a wake-up call for teams ready to see the full picture of sepsis care.
Featured Guests:
Hillary Spangler, MD (@http://linkedin.com/in/hillary-spangler): Internal medicine physician and health systems innovator focused on hospital quality, sepsis diagnostics, and patient-centered care.
Mallory Perry-Eaddy, PhD, RN, CCRN (@ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallory-perry/): Critical care nurse scientist and sepsis researcher studying ICU survivorship, racial disparities, and long-term recovery.
Jackie Duda, Sepsis Survivor and Advocate (@jackiesjourney4): Sepsis survivor and advocate raising awareness of post-sepsis challenges and the vital role of caregiver voices in healthcare transformation.
Key Takeaways:
Understand why patients living with chronic disease (such as pediatrics, older adults, and the immunocompromised) need tailored approaches for infection prevention, AMR, and sepsis care.
Recognize age- and population-specific pathogens—and why empiric antibiotic decisions carry different risks for different groups.
Learn how antimicrobial stewardship can help protect vulnerable patients long-term by preserving their microbiome and slowing resistance.
Explore how vaccination and proactive prevention strategies can play a frontline role in managing AMR and sepsis—especially in high-risk groups.
Dive into the lasting impacts of AMR and sepsis in specialty populations and how those outcomes shape clinical decisions, recovery, and future risk.
