• World Sepsis Day

  Thu 13 Sep 2018

  Spot the signs of Sepsis

   

  SEPSIS is a potentially life-threatening condition; however, it can be easily treated if caught early.

  Watch this quick YouTube Video to find out what Sepsis is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEGUCpxwAlE&feature=youtu.be

   

  Spot THE SIGNS

  SEPSIS could occur as the result of any infection. There is no one sign for SEPSIS.

  SEPSIS is a serious condition that can initially look like flu, gastroenteritis or a chest infection.

  Seek medical help urgently if you develop any or one of the following:

  Slurred speech or confusion
  Extreme shivering or muscle pain
  Passing no urine (in a day)
  Severe breathlessness
  It feels like you're going to die
  Skin mottled or discoloured

  SEPSIS in Children

  If your child is unwell with either a fever or very low temperature (or has had a fever in the last 24 hours), just ask: could it be SEPSIS?

  Any child who:

  - Is breathing very fast
  - Has a ‘fit' or convulsion
  - Looks mottled, bluish, or pale
  - Has a rash that does not fade when you press it
  - Is very lethargic or difficult to wake
  - Feels abnormally cold to touch

  Might have SEPSIS. Call 999 and just ask: could it be SEPSIS?

  Any child under 5 who:

  - Is not feeding
  - Is vomiting repeatedly
  - Hasn't had a wee or wet nappy for 12 hours

  Might have SEPSIS. If you're worried they're deteriorating call NHS Direct Wales on 0845 46 47or see your GP.

  To find out more, visit https://sepsistrust.org/news/what-is-sepsis/

  Please spread the signs to friends and family to keep them safe from Sepsis.
