EMS providers frequently assess geriatric patients with altered mental status. This EMS1 training video reviews two common conditions - hypoglycemia and sepsis - that can cause changes in a patient's mental status. After watching Steve Whitehead discuss these conditions learn more about sepsis assessment and treatment in articles from Kelly Grayson (How capnography can be used to identify sepsis) and Rom Duckworth (Sepsis 3.0: implications for paramedics and prehospital care). Then share your geriatric assessment tips in the comments.
