About this episode
In this episode, we talk about the number one diagnosis that leads to mortality in hospitalized patients. Signs and symptoms of sepsis and how to treat it is something that every nurse needs to know about. Guest Yesha RN shares about a patient that she just "had a bad feeling about" who ended up going into septic shock and required transfer to the ICU.
Check out Dr. Josh Farkas' post about fluid selection and pH balanced fluid resuscitation for a more in depth understanding of why normal saline isn't always your patient's best option for fluid resuscitation.
