Sirs and sepsis help

Published

Hi there i am a student nurse can any one explain to me the difference between systemic inflammatory response syndrome (sirs) and sepsis.

Are they the same

For some reason alot of these post have made me out to be a lazy couldnt be botherd student which couldnt be further from the truth.i am top of mmy year and have been for nearly 3 years and have also obtained excellent references in all my placements one of them in the most famous cardiology hospitals in europe which carried out the first ever heart transplant in europe.

So lazy and cant be bothered from complete strangers realy doesnt bother me.

But i do feel for those students that those people mentor.

I did do my work i just got confused with all the different definations from different text books.

Thats all so thankyouy for your help it has just made me realise you realy are on your own in this profession

One thing i have learned is not to like theses people when a student comes to me for verifacation in the future.

THANKS A LOT U ALL BYE :yawn:

Chrissy Student,

Forgive the close minded.

Sirs is a systemic response to any assault. Sepsis is the systemic response, much like Sirs, but specific to an infection.

I am sorry you weren't assisted.

Since the majority of these post are rather rude and off-topic, I am closing the thread.

Students: The Nursing Student Assistance forum is more appropriate for students' questions than General Nursing. https://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/

To the OP: I'll post your original question on the Nursing Student Assistance forum for more helpful answers.
