Kritikus Foundation
Rio Verde, Arizona
Dr Sebat is currently the Director Kritikus Foundation a non-profit deticate to improve the care of acutly ill patients. He has published, lectured and consulted nationally on the early recognition and treatment of critical illness and, with his colleagues, have developed and implemented programs to improve the care of these patients within the prehospital and hospital settings. He brings an emphasis to “back to basics” in training health care professionals to recognize earlier and rapidly treat at-risk patients. His approach has dramatically decreased mortality in patients with both septic, hypovolemic shock and acute respiratory failure by developing a complete system of care for these patients, predicated on keeping it simple and execution. He refers to this as the Vince Lombardi (former coach of Green Bay Packers football team) approach to critical care by focusing on the basic “blocking and tackling” patient issues which if overlooked or minimized in favor of “razzle dazzle” assessments and interventions lead to worse outcomes.
