If you receive the wonderful Sunday Summaries email newsletter from Byrom & Byrom you will know that this weeks theme is Sepsis awareness month which falls each September.
A few days ago I created a info-graphic for student midwives to help remember the Sepsis 6 framework in order to diagnose and treat the signs and symptoms of Sepsis.
Maternal Sepsis affects women in the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal period.
Sepsis 6 is a tool most commonly used during intrapartum care.
After a lecture at University I now use the easy memory technique of thinking 'give 3, take 3'.
As always documentation of times need to be correct. If Sepsis is suspected then the Sepsis 6 protocol needs to be initiated within an hour.
Info-graphic is available under 'Infographic' page on the right hand side of my blog.
Please use and share.
