Errrr, no. For one thing it's low blood pressure that they look for with Sepsis but there are no specific identifying factors that make Sepsis easily diagnosable. In fact, 20 people can arrive in Emergency with 20 different sets of symptoms. Generally it appears to be a flu, which is why there are efforts being made to put new practices and procedures in place in all Emergency settings world wide.

Re: For Education: Sepsis

Sepsis is a symptom of an infection...its not a disease, you wont catch it... its the name of a cluster of systems brought on by blood infection its full name is septicemia, you don't accidentally just fall ill with sepsis you develope it when blood become too full of bacteria... but they act like its a disease... other issues cause sepsis, like staff infections, gangrene level infections. Its also called blood poisoning, this video kind of seems misleading the way they act like its a plague.

Re: For Education: Sepsis

And sepsis is also easily cured with any penicilin, amoxocylin or wide range full sprecrum anti-biotics... if its untreated its dangerous... but you know your really ill by the time its gonna kill you.
The only time it would be fatal and diagnosed is MAYBE is you got MRSA- the resistant strain of staff, and there's even 2 kinds of that only the rare one is dangerous.

Actually, in many cases, sepsis can be misdiagnosed as quite a few other illnesses and/or signs and symptoms. It is broad based and not always caught early on. Physicians are hailed as heros when patients heal quickly, but made out to be the villian when they take a turn for the worst. To reply to another post and to clear something up, ALL MRSA is bad, not this strain or that strain.....MRSA is MRSA, it is all resistant to antibiotics. The acronym "MRSA" points out that it is penicillan-resistant staph. Just trying to spread the knowledge. To quote my usual sign-off, "hope this helps!!!"

Re: For Education: Sepsis

Also.....about the blood pressure. When a patient's BP falls, it is a sign that they are in distress and something is taxing their system. Sepsis would definitely, without a doubt, cause their BP to plummet. Hope this helps.

Re: For Education: Sepsis

Have heard the word before and it is indeed a dire thing. A friend recently had a stomach ulcer burst which perforated his stomach, just as we got him to hospital he went in to septic shock.
