This is a very informative video, as a second year student nurse it provided the link I was missing between the theory and practice. Thank you ever so much for sharing this.
It can even start with an insect bite or tooth extraction. If you start shivering, it's the hypothalamus setting a far higher temperature to be reached to fight an infection. I/V antibiotics are needed urgently as the immune system is over-reacting and diverting blood to the infection-site. Mine is a better explanation.
No sepsis is not hereditary, it occurs in response to an infection for example pneumonia. However, researchers do not know if there are genetic factors that make people more likely to develop sepsis in response to an infection. Overall, do not be overly worried that anyone related to your sister in law will get sepsis, but please do inform yourself about spotting the signs & symptoms of sepsis so that if anyone you know had sepsis due to an infection you might be able to get them to seek medical help before they become very unwell. sepsistrust.org/ this website is dedicated to informing the public and healthcare professionals about sepsis!
An absolutely essential video for saving lives. So educational and understandable for people not from a clinical background
Thank you Dr Ron Daniels BEM. The UK Sepsis Trust and all the work you guys do is invaluable. You guys have inspired me to volunteer myself. Thanks 🙏🏼

Thank you Doc
I am a future paediatrician and this was easy to understand
With regard to o2 delivery, does saturation on room air play any part? Or do you deliver high flow regardless of existing saturation??
Nice
Thank you
Is sepsis hereditary? My sister in law died due to this ... what symptoms are to watch out for ?

17:50 "The higher the lactate the more likely it is that the patient will survive" is this correct?
That was a slip up the higher lactate correlates with higher mortality
I wish I had known
