About this deal
with suspected community acquired sepsis of any cause give ceftriaxone 80 mg/kg once a day with a maximum dose of 4 g daily at any age. A simple face mask doesn’t deliver as high of an oxygen concentration as a non-rebreather mask but is safer in the case of a blockage. Ensure all healthcare staff and students involved in assessing people's clinical condition are given regular, appropriate training in identifying people who might have sepsis.

Physiological track and trigger systems should be used to monitor all children in acute hospital settings. In standard hospital settings these days, there is an increasing use of humidified high flow oxygen therapy that requires an understanding of the relationship between oxygen flow rate and FiO2. False reassurance: respiratory deteriorations may be detected later if a patient is left on high-flow oxygen (as it would require a more significant deterioration to desaturate on high-flow oxygen compared to lower-flow oxygen).
If a patient is still struggling to breathe with SPO2 of 88-94% or lower on a NRB, then they probably need intubated. The safe implementation of oxygen therapy with appropriate monitoring is an integral component of the Healthcare Professional’s role. Oxygen is a life-saving therapy that nurses and respiratory therapists administer every day in the hospital.

If unable to achieve or maintain target range, switch to reservoir mask (15 L/minute O 2) and seek senior advice. Only measure blood pressure in children under 12 years in community settings if facilities to measure blood pressure, including a correctly-sized cuff, are available and taking a measurement does not cause a delay in assessment or treatment.When we refer to "flow rate," we're discussing liters per minute, not the pulse-flow setting on an oxygen concentrator. This guidance should be used together with the algorithms organised by age group and treatment location and the risk stratification tools. If the flow rate of the oxygen is lower than the recommended amount for a specific Venturi mask, the mask won’t deliver the stated FiO 2. on risk factors for sepsis) or indications of clinical concern such as new onset abnormalities of behaviour, circulation or respiration when deciding during a remote assessment whether to offer a face-to-face-assessment and if so, on the urgency of face-to-face assessment. arrange for a clinician to review the person's condition and venous lactate results within 1 hour of meeting criteria in an acute hospital setting.
