Hi Sophia. Like Erme was saying, what helps me think about hypotension r/t (related to) sepsis is SIRS. I just think, what is going on in localized inflammation? The same thing is going on thought out the body because the the bacteria (in most cases) is in your blood and your blood is everywhere. Inflammation releases histamines and prostaglandins among others that cause vasodilation, inflammation, fever, hypo-perfusion, Like Matt was saying leaky capillaries hence the swelling among others. Hope it helps!

Thank you aCRNAhopeful, I haven't hang blood in a fee weeks but I believe it was a CVL that flushed with some resistance. But I'll try the hanging it higher and of course checkin that it flushes well before putting a pressure bag. Thanks again!

Question, sometimes the FFP's or PRBC's wont run without a pressure bag even if the line flushes alright. Does this happen to you guys? What would you recommend trying?
