Pathophysiology of Sepsis
In this stage of sepsis, the patient exhibits signs of organ dysfunction, including hypotension and elevated lactat levesl.
What is stage 3
A common barrier to effective screening for family violence in the ER.
What is fear of offending the patient.
Fever or hypothermia, tachycardia, altered mental status, respiratory distress.
What are the clinical manifestations?
The main purpose of the primary survey in a trauma assessment.
What is the primary assessment is to identify and manage life-threatening condiditons immediately.
Nursing assessment findings in sepsis.
What are low B?P, high heart rate, high temperature, urine output <0.5 ml/Hr
Pain, fever, chills, nausea, fatigue, and confusion.
What are the subjective findings in sepsis?
High risk area for nurses for workplace violence.
What is the emergency department
This is the term used to describe the life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.
What is Sepsis?
The "D" ine ABCDE approach
What is disability?
Common infectious agents that can lead to sepsis in patients.
What are bacteria, viruses, and fungi?
To avoid complications during rewarming of a hypothermic patient, the nurse assess for a complication of rewarming shock.
What is a sudden rapid temperature changes.
These are the common symptoms that may be observed in a patient with sepsis, inclluding fever, tachycardia, and altered mental status.
What are the clinical anifestations of sepsis?
The most appropriate intervention for a patient with blunt force abdominal trauma in hypovolemic shock
What is establish IV access and start infusing IVF quicly (fluid resusitation)
The goals and outcomes of sepsis.
1. improved mental status
2. normalizing lactate levels.
3. urine output > 30 ml hr.
4. Systolic BP > 90 mmHg
Laboratory findings.
1. What are increased WBC or decreased WBC
2. Increaed Lactate
3. Elevated C-Reactive Protein
4. Positive blood cultures
Shivering, vasocnstriction, increased heart rate, altered mental status, increased respiratory rate, metabolic rate changes, decreased peripheral sensation, and skin changes.
.
What are the hysiological responses to mild hypothermia
This group of patients is at a higher risk for developing sepsis due to factors such age, chronic illness, and immunosuppression.
Who are t he elderly and immunocompromised individuals?
Continuous monitoring of vitals signs
What is helps detect early signs of deterioation
Sepsis origination points in the body.
What are blood stream, lungs, urinary system, and anywhere an infection starts inclduing in severe injury.
This is the first-line treatment for sepsis that should be administered within t he first hour of recognition of the condition.
