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%.
