We need to have a low threshold for the diagnosis of Sepsis and Septic shock as these conditions have high mortality if not treated properly.
Great lecture! Can you explain why sepsis not only cause fever but also insuffizient tempature in some cases? Thank you and best regards 🙂
I don't know if you still need the answer or not but I writing it for others who have the same question. In shock e.g. hypovalemic or cardiogenic, there is decreased temperature of the body because the organs are not receiving enough blood. So when the patient will come to you, he will be cold. But in case of septic shock, the gram positive or negative bacteria will release toxins that will cause the endothelial cells of the blood vessels to open up. Septic shock has nothing to do with blood volume as it is caused by bacteria. So when the endothelial cells will open, the 5L blood will go to the organs and organs will receive sufficent blood and the body will be warm initially, but as the blood is in organs, and there is very little blood in the vessels, now they are not giving any oxygenated blood to organs, hence, there will be hypoxia, followed by ischemia and then necrosis, so the patient's temperature will start to decrease and his body will become cold.
