1. A sepsis assessment device comprising:

  • a fluid input in fluid communication with a respiratory tract of a patient, wherein the fluid input receives an exhaled breath from the patient;

    a NO measurement device that determines a NO concentration in the exhaled breath;

    a CO2 measurement device that determines a CO2 concentration in the exhaled breath;

    an input/output interface;

    a processing element in electrical communication with the CO2 and NO measurement devices and the input/output interface, wherein the processing element receives a first signal corresponding to the NO concentration;

    receives a second signal corresponding to the CO2 concentration;

    determines a sepsis risk score based on the first signal and the second signal; and

    transmits the sepsis risk score to the input/output interface.
