You know the drill — “patient feeling weak,” “not quite right,” maybe alittle confusion. But what if that vague dispatch hides a killer? This week on the Inside EMS podcast, hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson dig into one of the most missed, yet deadliest emergencies we face: sepsis. You'll hear when to treat aggressively with fluids, why timing matters for antibiotics and how any provider can sound the alarm with a sepsis alert. Plus, they dive into the controversy around fluid bolus protocols, which prehospital labs might be worth it and why a 30 mL/kg mindset isn't always one-size-fits-all. If you've ever walked into a call and thought “something's off,” this episode will help you figure out what — and how to act before it's too late. Memorable quotes “Most septic patientsdon'troll with a sign thatsays,‘I'm septic.'” “The number of sepsis cases we see in EMS are more than stroke and heart attack combined.” “They may have pulses everywhere — just none of them are good.” Enjoying the show?

In dieser Woche geht es um Pflegephänomene bei Blut- und Immunsystemerkrankungen. Gestörte Blutfunktionen zeigen sich durch Anämie, Blässe, Müdigkeit und Herzbelastung. Petechien, Hämatome oder Purpura weisen auf Gerinnungsstörungen hin. Einblutungen in Gewebe oder Gelenke verursachen starke Schmerzen und Mobilitätsprobleme. Eine vergrößerte Milz birgt Gefahr von Rupturen und Infektanfälligkeit.Beim Immunsystem stehen Infektanfälligkeit, geschwollene Lymphknoten und Fieber im Vordergrund. Besonders kritisch ist die Sepsis mit hohem Fieber, Kreislaufabfall und Bewusstseinseintrübung.Pflege heißt hier für dich: beobachten, dokumentieren und Patienten Sicherheit geben. Und damit machen wir dich wieder fit für deine Prüfungen und die praktische Arbeit auf Station.

The boys are back in the Shed after a brief hiatus due to a health scare but we are BACK! We review our pathetic start to the season of picks, overreactions/Spitgate/Week 1 winners & losers/picks for week 2, College football, and a spicy top 3!!
Sepsis is a serious condition that occurs when the body's immune system has a dangerous reaction to an infection. This response can lead to extensive inflammation, tissue damage, organ failure, and even death. Sepsis is considered a medical emergency, as it can progress rapidly and requires urgent treatment.
In this special solo episode of the Care Social Podcast, Barry, Price, our Content Operations and Delivery Manager at QCS, shares his personal and life-threatening brush with sepsis, just before World Sepsis Day.Sepsis is a medical emergency that can affect anyone, at any age. It's our body's extreme reaction to infection and, without urgent treatment, it can lead to organ failure, lasting damage, or death. The faster it's recognised, the better the chances of survival and recovery.Barry takes us through his own story, from ignoring the early signs, to the moment he was rushed into urgent care and told he had sepsis. He describes the terrifying reality of treatment, recovery, and the lasting impact of post-sepsis syndrome. His experience is a stark reminder that you can't “sleep off” sepsis.The episode also covers:What sepsis is and how it developsThe key warning signs to look out forWhy people in social care are at greater riskThe actions providers must take to protect those they supportWhat Providers Must DoSepsis awareness is critical in social care, where age, frailty, and delayed recognition increase risks. Barry highlights key steps every provider should take:Ensure all staff have Sepsis awareness trainingPromote the use of early warning systems like NEWS2Build better integration and partnerships with health servicesPromote vaccination programmesEnsure your infection prevention measures are workingAt QCS, our Mock Inspection Toolkits and Digital Audits can help providers audit, evidence, and improve their infection prevention and compliance processes.Barry ends with a powerful message: early recognition and fast treatment save lives.Listen now and share this episode with colleagues, friends or family because the more people who understand sepsis, the more lives can be saved.Further information World Sepsis Day

Dr. Mitch Shulman can be heard every weekday morning at 7:50 on The Andrew Carter Morning Show.
He now has ZERO fear of death: "It's like walking through a door into another room." Ned shares his NDE experience publicly for the first time.When a stubborn bladder infection spiraled into sepsis, Ned Barnett flatlined twice in the ER. During his near death experience, he lived three vivid, sequential “lives”:NDE #1 - Tranquil, dove-gray creative realm where ideas were built and freely shared;NDE #2 - An ordinary, domestic life that quietly corrected priorities;NDE #3 - A hyper-real action life as a hostage negotiator and rescue-show producer leading SWAT-style interventions.On “re-entry,” Ned realized the “hotel” with stark black-and-white ceiling panels was actually the ICU—and his overwhelming drive was simply to call his wife and tell her he was okay. The NDE completely erased his fear of death, redirected his career toward helping authors, and deepened his Christian faith. He closes with gentle advice for listeners in pain: simple prayers, the Psalms, and the reminder that what we are continues.Video version of this podcast: https://youtu.be/zLZVh4ND4tYRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/
Gurinder and Ravinder Sidhu were excited to welcome their third baby in June. That excitement turned to fear and then grief after Ravinder died from sepsis shortly after her son's birth. Gurinder joins us to talk about how he believes the nurses and doctors didn't act fast enough to treat his wife — and even ignored their pleas for help. And why he's calling for better sepsis care so no other family has to go through what he is enduring. Then two experts talk about why Canada desperately needs a sepsis strategy. An estimated one in eighteen deaths in Canada are from sepsis, many of which Fatima Sheikh, a PhD candidate at McMaster University, and Dr Kali Barrett, a critical care physician and affiliate scientist with the Health Systems and Policy Research Collaborative Centre at UHN, say are preventable.
This month, as the eLife Podcast hits its century, we hear how getting frog dads to cross-foster tadpoles has revealed the way in which some frogs come by their microbiomes, the ants that do gene therapy, signs that disease causes a breakdown in nutrient exchange between the elements of the microbiome, how fungi reprogram immune cells to cause over-reactions in sepsis, and new insights into how tapeworm larvae in the brain cause seizures...

In Mary Ann's 33 years of life, she has faced anorexia, a near-death infection, institutional abuse, and the trauma of amputation, but she has found purpose in nourishing her body and sharing her testimony. Mary Ann has been carnivore since 2018 and rededicated her life to Jesus in 2022 during a hospital stay, and those two decisions have strengthened her physical body and saved her soul. Mary Ann grew up in a household run by two doctors who didn't allow her to eat red meat, and followed every "heart healthy" dietary lie being perpetrated by the government in the early nineties. She became fixated around her weight and food intake as a way of regaining control in a chaotic household and developed an eating disorder that only going carnivore could cure. In 2022, bacteria from a hot tub entered an open cut in her leg and the resulting infection caused her to go septic. Mary Ann lost half of her left foot, two fingers, and nearly her life. The doctors performed skin graft surgery to save her legs, but after three years the grafts failed and she lost her right leg below the knee right after Meatstock 2025 due to osteomyelitis. Mary Ann just received her prosthetic two weeks ago and is walking and driving - healing at lightning speed thanks to God and the healing power of meat!

Sepsis is a global killer, and at one in five, it causes more deaths than heart attacks or strokes but would you know the warning signs or symptoms? An unchecked immune response to an infection or pathogen, sepsis causes the body to turn on its own tissues and vital organs. Farmer Geoff Lance is one of the lucky ones - he's a sepsis survivor - but he didn't come out unscathed. Geoff has joined forces with Sepsis Trust NZ to raise awareness of the condition during September - which is World Sepsis Month. The nationwide public campaign: 'Be a SEPSIS Superhero: Suspect it, say it, stop it' is part of a broader push for sepsis to be prioritised within our health system.

Le sepsis est une réponse inflammatoire généralisée, liée à une infection grave, sur des patients souvent déjà fragilisés. Ils étaient responsables de 11 millions de morts chaque année, dans le monde, en 2021, d'après l'Institut Pasteur. Les formes graves du Covid-19 sont des formes de sepsis viral. Le terme « septicémie » désigne la présence de bactéries (voire champignons ou virus) dans le sang. Le sepsis touche, chaque année, 49 millions de personnes dans le monde. Si le fardeau est concentré dans les pays les plus pauvres, ces infections – gangrène, ou fièvre puerpérale (post-accouchement) – constituent aussi une cause majeure de décès dans les pays riches. Quelles sont les causes les plus fréquentes de la septicémie ? Comment en reconnaître les symptômes ? Quelles sont les complications possibles ? Pr Djillali Annane, directeur de l'Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire PROMETHEUS, Centre intégré de soins et de recherche sur le sepsis, Hôpital Raymond Poincaré à Garches Pr Yapo Paul Yapo, anesthésiste-réanimateur au CHU de Yopougon à Abidjan, en Côte d'Ivoire.

In this short episode, you meet Meredith Wallace, RN, sepsis coordinator as she discusses the importance of timely, appropriate sepsis care.
Story at-a-glance Sepsis affects over 1.7 million U.S. adults annually, causing 350,000 deaths. It is characterized by an overwhelming immune response leading to widespread inflammation and organ failure An Iranian study of 66 ICU patients showed curcumin (500 mg) plus piperine (5 mg) reduced inflammation markers by 34.29% to 37.36% within seven days A meta-analysis revealed curcumin alone dramatically increased survival rates up to 90% and protected multiple organs including lungs, liver, and kidneys Adding black pepper to golden milk, a traditional turmeric-based drink, increases curcumin's bioavailability by 2,000% and effectively addresses metabolic syndrome symptoms through anti-inflammatory action Dr. Paul Marik's combination of vitamin C, hydrocortisone, and thiamine protocol is another life-saving option for those suffering from sepsis

Dr. Rolland “Rollie” Carlson, CEO of Immunexpress is a veteran of the molecular diagnostics space. With over 25 years of leadership across Abbott, WaferGen, Asuragen, and more, Rollie is now focused on solving one of healthcare's most urgent crises: Sepsis.In this episode, we explore why sepsis, despite causing more than 48 million deaths annually remains so poorly understood and misdiagnosed. Rollie breaks down why early detection is so difficult, how gene expression profiling can finally distinguish between infectious and non-infectious inflammation and the real-world barriers to clinical trial design, FDA approval and physician adoption. We also cover military use cases, the lack of gold standards in sepsis diagnostics and what needs to change in how hospitals are incentivised to tackle this conditionTimestamps:[00:00:26] Why Sepsis Remains Underdiagnosed Globally[00:01:42] What Sepsis Actually Is and Why It's So Deadly[00:03:14] Who's Most at Risk: Age, Immunity, and Beyond[00:04:25] Detecting Sepsis Through Gene Expression[00:05:39] Why Blood Cultures Aren't Enough Anymore[00:09:14] FDA Approval Without a Gold Standard: The Regulatory Maze[00:12:39] Sepsis Isn't Always Bacterial and Why That Matters[00:15:20] How Physicians Are Reacting to New Molecular Tools[00:17:35] Beyond Sepsis: Expansion Into Infectious Diseases[00:18:57] From Marine Biologist to Diagnostics PioneerGet in touch with Rollie - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rollie-carlson-ph-d-059074a/ Learn more about Immunexpress - https://immunexpress.com/ Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ Follow Karandeep on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwalSubscribe to the Podcast

In this episode of The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast, I'm joined by Alyssa, who shares her story of surviving a catastrophic postpartum complication. What began as a smooth pregnancy and an unplanned C-section turned into undiagnosed sepsis, a perforated bowel, emergency surgery, and over four weeks in the hospital, two of them spent in the ICU, separated from her newborn daughter.Alyssa walks us through the red flags that were dismissed, the overwhelming pain and isolation she endured, and the moment when her C-section scar began leaking fluid, leading to the discovery of a life-threatening complication. Now, seven years later, she reflects on her long road to healing, both physically and emotionally, and the decision to stop growing her family due to trauma, grief, and self-preservation.What You'll Hear in This Episode:
