Program:

Dr. Ralph Garcia
 
Pacheco gave a very informative program regarding Sepsis. Dr. Garcia started his presentation stating that Sepsis is the #1 cause of death for patients in the hospital and that Sepsis is the #1 healthcare cost!
He gave a clear outline regarding the following; What is Sepsis, What are the symptoms of Sepsis, What to do when diagnosed with Sepsis.
 
 
What is Sepsis?
Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection. It is a life-threatening medical emergency.  Sepsis happens when an infection you already have —in your skin, lungs, urinary tract, or somewhere else—triggers a chain reaction throughout your body.  Without timely treatment, sepsis can rapidly lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death.
 
What are the symptoms of Sepsis?
The symptoms of Sepsis range significantly which is the reason why it’s extremely hard to catch it and diagnose it early. Some of the symptoms include; high heart rate or low blood pressure, fever, shivering, confusion, shortness of breath, extreme pain, and clammy or sweaty skin.
 
What to do when diagnosed with Sepsis?
Research shows that rapid treatment is critical:
  • Giving appropriate treatment, including antibiotics
  • Maintaining blood flow to organs
Sometimes surgery is required to remove tissue damaged by the infection. Antibiotics are critical tools for treating life-threatening infections, like those that can lead to sepsis. Every hour that a patient goes without antibiotics increases the chance of death by 7.6%.
Jason Cater: Business on top, Party on the bottom.

COVID Connect - Ray Karpe and his dogs nailed it.
 

Program:

Chief Terry is the 20th Bakersfield Police Chief. Chief Terry spoke of the challenges of policing a city during such difficult and stressful times. He mentioned that there has been a spike in violent crimes partially due to the shutdown, COVID-19, civil unrest, and the increase in anxiety we all feel in 2020.
 
The main focus of his talk was in regard to the collaborative efforts his Department is taking in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. They have built a Community Collaborative where members of the community can have open dialogue with his Department and build trust within the community. They are also partnering with the Kegley Institute at CSUB and have built a diverse panel to discuss policing and reviewing policies and procedures. This process will take about 6 months, and then the Department will be given recommendations on ways they can better build trust and safety in the community.
 
Chief Terry's 3 main goals for the BPD are:
 
  1. Problem Solving

  2. Community Engagement

  3. Updating the Organization's Structure

If you would like to help the Community Collaborative efforts and have an idea to assist the Department in their efforts, please email: yourvoice@bakersfieldpd.us
