Sepsis

How to tell if someone might have sepsis: 


S for slow speech or confusion, 

E for extreme pain in the muscles or joints, 

P for passing no urine for 24 hours, 

S for severe breathlessness, 

I for “it feels like I’m going to die”, and 

S for skin that’s mottled, discoloured, blueish or very pale. OR purpura. 


- Most of this text is from an online article. Some points I have added basis our experience with sepsis.
