Q

sepsis: “seeding” systemic circulation

A
  • infection seeds sytemic circulation
    • decreased tissue perfusion
    • can’t get proper oxygen into and CO2 and toxins out of tissues
  • leads to septic picture (decreased perfusion)
  • severe sepsis, septic shock, death
    • if you can interject with appropriate antibiotics, fluids in time you can mitigate and stop in its tracks
  • potential is there once you’ve hit the inflammatory and decreased perfusion state

Q

sepsis and decreased blood return to heart
