Sepsis Awareness

2/11/2018

I joined the sepsis support group “ well being” awareness walk  at Roath Park last week.  It was quite informative speaking to people who had survived sepsis  with common ailments such as tonsillitis and kidney infections. I came away more informed of about how to spot and prevent the problem. The support group go into hospitals and teach the student nurses and doctors how to recognise Sepsis.
What is sepsis? 
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to an infection causes it to attack its own tissues and organs. In sepsis, patient's immune system goes into overdrive setting off a series of reactions including widespread inflammation.  Sepsis can lead to multiple organ failure and death especially if not recognised early and treated quickly. According to the UK Sepsis Trust, someone dies from sepsis every 3-5 seconds.
What are the symptoms of SEPSIS?
  • S LURRED SPEECH
  • E XTREME SHIVERING OR MUSCLE PAIN
  • P ASSING NO URINE (IN A DAY)
  • S EVERE BREATHLESSNESS
  • “I FEEL LIKE I MIGHT DIE”
  • S KIN MOTTLED OR DISCOLOURED
This is food for thought. Further information  available from www.rcn.org.uk/sepsis
