Nursing hack to remember cannula sizes

18/03/2026

Do you know how to do the Glass Test for Meningitis?
A non-blanching rash is one of the most serious warning signs of meningitis and septicaemia.

The glass test can help identify if a rash is potentially dangerous.

🥛 How it works:
Press a clear glass firmly against the rash.

• If the rash fades under pressure → it may be a normal rash.
• If the rash does NOT fade (non-blanching) → this is a medical emergency and urgent medical attention is needed.

⚠️ A non-blanching rash can indicate meningococcal septicaemia, which can progress rapidly.

👩‍⚕️ Student Nurse Tip:
Always assess rashes alongside other meningitis red flags such as fever, photophobia, neck stiffness, headache, vomiting, and altered consciousness.

💾 Save this post so you remember the warning signs.
