Anyone can get an infection, and almost any infection, including COVID-19, can lead to sepsis. Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection and is a life-threatening medical emergency.

September is Sepsis Awareness Month and CDC encourages its partners, patients, and healthcare professionals to share how sepsis can be prevented. 🗣 Get Ahead of Sepsis is a national educational effort that emphasizes the importance of early recognition, timely treatment, reassessment of antibiotic needs, and prevention of infections.

There are four specific steps you can take to reduce your risk of sepsis.

1. Prevent Infections

Talk to your healthcare professional about steps you can take to prevent infections that can lead to sepsis, including:
Take good care of chronic conditions.
Get recommended vaccines, since vaccinations prevent some infections, but do not cure sepsis.

2. Practice Good Hygiene

Wash your hands 🧼
Keep cuts clean and covered until healed 🩹

3. Know the Signs and Symptoms of Sepsis

A patient with sepsis might have one or more of the following signs or symptoms:
High heart rate or weak pulse
Fever, shivering, or feeling very cold
Confusion or disorientation
Shortness of breath
Extreme pain or discomfort
Clammy or sweaty skin

A medical assessment by a healthcare professional is needed to confirm sepsis.

4. ACT FAST

Sepsis is a medical emergency. If you or your loved one has an infection that’s not getting better or is getting worse, ACT FAST. Get medical care IMMEDIATELY. Ask your healthcare professional, “Could this infection be leading to sepsis?” and if you should go to the emergency room.

This month we celebrate of the vital role of women throughout history, but we also want to recognize the enormous contribution women make to nursing and Ryders in particular. Women account for nearly 90% of all nurses and CNAs in the U.S. and our founder was one such woman.

Margaret Sbriglio, RN, opened her first nursing home in 1949 at the age of 20. She saw practices at the time as falling short of resident dignity and resolved to offer a more patient-centered alternative. Today we employ hundreds of other industrious women who uphold her legacy of patient-centered care with diligence and grace.

February is ! We'll be sharing the stories of notable nurses throughout history, starting with the first African American to practice medicine in the U.S., James Derham.

Born into slavery in Philadelphia, Derham learned medicine and professional bedside manner from a doctor he served under. After gaining his freedom in New Orleans, he opened up the first documented medical practice run and owned by an African American.
