In movies, it's always portrayed as if the light goes out in 5 to 10 seconds. But is that really the case? And above all: there are ribs in between, so it would be extremely difficult to actually get hit with a knife there, right?
I just suddenly had chest pain while lying down and slight pain under both shoulder blades. Is this a heart attack? I'm extremely scared because I have hypochondria.
I have no other train that takes me there after work at the right time. Neither does my car
Hi, I have a question about the J2 examination. My parents have asked me if I want to go to my family doctor for the final J examination. Because we haven't had the one before, J1. Now my question is whether there's a big difference between J1 and J2 and what exactly is examined there….
Sepsis is a generalized infection, i.e. germs in the bloodstream. The affected people usually feel sick and slapped, yes. This alone is not enough for the diagnosis of “Sepsis”.
The medicine uses the so-called qSOFA score to give a suspicion. The respiratory frequency, blood pressure and the state of consciousness are checked. If the respiratory frequency is above 22 per minute, the blood pressure is permanently much lower than 90 mmHg and the consciousness is restricted, i.e. the person concerned is confused or slowed down, then there is suspicion of a sepsis, if there are no classical infect signs such as fever or coughs. At least 2 of these characteristics must apply. If you’re just tired and slapped, it’s not enough for a consciousness exercise.
By the way, an infect can be present even if you have no sepsis…
No, you’d have a high fever at a sepsis. But there are other diseases in addition to a sepsis 49,999.
Where would they come from? Is there a plausible reason?
