Sepsis and What I Would Change from Current Practice Sepsis is one of the world's leading healthcare problems, which is more prevalent than cardiac arrest. The condition strikes approximately 30 million people worldwide annually. The majority of the victims either end up dying or suffering permeant health problems. The condition is still on record for claiming more lives compared to other deadly illnesses such as cancer, especially in less developed economies (Jawad, Luksic, & Rafnsson…
early infection and bacteraemia to severe sepsis and septic shock (1). Sepsis can ultimately result in multiple organ failure and death, and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Sepsis has a high mortality rate. In excess of 3000 Australians die of sepsis annually – a rate higher than the annual national road toll (3). In one study, the mortality associated with sepsis was over 10%, whilst mortality from septic shock surpassed 40% (2). Whatsmore, for each hour of delay in…
In our daily lives, we use different products for various of reasons. In drugstores and in our local malls, there are categories of diverse items, which range from makeup, skincare, hair products, prescription medicine, and much more. They contribute in making our lives easier and more productive and are often designed to enhance our appearance and health. When we watch television or browse the Internet, we constantly see new products being advertised, and each label contains the ingredients and…
people who are killed by sepsis developed severe sepsis or septic shock. Severe sepsis is defined as sepsis plus sepsis-induced organ infections or tissue hypoperfusion. In addition, septic shock is defined as when the patient experiences significant drop in blood pressure that could cause the patient to go into respiratory failure, stroke, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), and death. In the United States, septic shock is the most common cause of death in the intensive care unit(ICU).…

Lucy McCormick, of ‘GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN’ (GITBOTV), influenced my practice through her solo workshop and subsequent conversations because I found her style and attitude towards creative work particularly stimulating and we share an enthusiasm for pushing theatrical boundaries. Her approach demonstrates that, “the question of boundaries and extremes is always in the room” (McCormick, 2014). In our workshop on ‘The Importance of Being Ernest’ Lucy got one of my classmates, Laura, to chew…
Stanley Milgram had a goal to make a lasting impact in the field of psychology. So, he devised an experiment to understand why Nazi’s in the Holocaust followed Hitler. It is an understandable ambition because we must understand why Nazis followed and performed such horrific acts to be able to insure that it never happens again. Milgram’s experiment took place on February 1st, 1965 in an experiment titled Some Conditions of Obedience and Disobedience to Authority. His experiment is justified…
military courtroom where Privet Dawson and Downey are on trial for killing a colleague, Private Santiago. Milgram wrote "The Perils of Obedience ", which describes his experiment where there is a teacher and leaner. The teacher, the actual subject, shocks the learner for every wrong answer. The volts of electricity start at 15 increasing to 450. Kelman and Hamilton wrote "My Lai Massacre" which recounts the trial and thoughts of Lieutenant Calley, the only officer to go on trial for the My Lai…

driver error on rollovers as well. Mitigating the electrical shock hazard would take extra training and knowledge on what you need to look for. Another way is to do risk management and apply it as it pertains to the being in the MRAP and driving it. The routes were assets for low hanging wires along the route and brief before convoys to avoid. To also make alternate routes to use and or even bypass to limit the hazard of electrical shock. The last mitigation is for the hazardous chemical…
