Fluid bolus, check fluid responsiveness, then quickly start vasopressors peripherally, get a PICC line in, and transfer pressers to PICC. We put way too many central lines in these patients which have minimal benefits and far more adverse effects when compared to PICC lines. #septicshock #shock

Can't agree more. It is time that we revamp the way we provide fluid resuscitation in the early "salvage" phase. #fluidresuscitation #Lifeflow

I recently spoke with a nurse and she said, "Sometimes you don't know what you don't know." This is one of the primary reasons we created a financial concepts series on our Quality of Life Planning® channel. This week, we're talking about wills. I know no one is rushing to create a will, but hopefully this video highlights some of the reasons you may need one and clarifies some of the key components of a will. Watch the full video at the link in the comments. #nurses #estateplanning #wills

Sepsis an largely unknown heath problem is not limited to intensive care (ICU). It has also a tremendous impact on surviving patients. ICU allow 80 to 50% of patients to survive to sepsis, but after that there it is a long recovery time. Sepsis is frequent, costly and badly known (20% of world mortality according to WHO, 50% of Intensive Care cost, and 0.5% of US GDP). It is an extraordinary oxidative condition. 🔥Sepsis is the body's "desperate" response to an infection it considers threatening. All organs fail to a greater or lesser extent. 🔥Sepsis is often very sudden. We go from a banal infection to "something else" without realizing it at first. It's an emergency. Sepsis should not be confined to intensive care, which is often life-saving (20-50% mortality). There is no specific treatment. It's a matter of taking charge beforehand. Detection is often delayed by the absence of biological markers (such as blood tests in infarction). Ideally, some hospitals have developed "sepsis teams" to deploy a team in the event of suspicion. Then there's the long convalescence period, with communication difficulties between the intensive care unit and rehabilitation services, ideally. Post-resuscitation consultations by intensivists are also often lacking. All this calls for additional resources and coding based on quality of life gained (QOL) rather than cash flow (resources per case). The CDC in the USA is moving towards an organization that funds quality. The NIH philosophy in Great Britain is along these lines, with costs/benefits based on gaigned QOL. Sepsis will also aggravate pre-existing pathologies, notably neurological, cardiovascular and renal. It complicates and delays carcinological management.
