Ep235 Sepsis: What Is It?
from First Aid Show Australia Daily Minute Hosted by First Aid Show Australia
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that can develop when the body’s response to an infection begins damaging its own tissues and organs. The challenge for first aiders is that sepsis doesn’t always have one obvious sign — sometimes it’s simply a patient who is becoming increasingly unwell. In this episode, you’ll learn what sepsis is, who may be at greater risk, the warning signs of deterioration, and what first aiders should do when sepsis is suspected. Most importantly, we’ll discuss why recognising deterioration, asking “Could it be sepsis?” and escalating early can save a life. #dailyminutepodcast #firstaidshowaustralia #firstaid #firstaidtraining #sepsis #infection #patientassessment #patientdeterioration
