Sudden burst of energy. Eating when they haven’t in weeks. Tachycardic while unresponsive. Fever for no reason. Certain odor they put off. Mottling. Seeing deceased loved ones. Agitation. Restlessness. Increases confusion. Breathing changes.

Watch out for declining temps. Cold sepsis is sneaky.

I worked security in hospitals for 7 years. I’m not a nurse, and call me crazy if you want, but the smell of the room starts taking on the faint scent of death. It’s slight but it’s there.

Nurse Jack Black⚕️🎸💪🏻🔥 :
It sounds weird, but your “gut feeling” hits when you walk into the room and they look “off” compared to prior assessments. Usually r/t their communication/arousability😅

Their heart rate drops. Like they’ve been sitting in the 80s 90s and suddenly they are in the 50s and 60s. Like ohhhhhh no someone just opened the drain and you’re circling

Life support & ICU for 17 days. They told hubby multiple times I was on my way out. That was 5 months ago and I defied every one of them.

I’m a vet tech, so no disrespect, but in animals the fur will stand up on their whole back all the way down their tail. Poofy. Cats will purr when they’re really sick. We call it the death purr… they also usually rally right before. Like, suddenly want to eat or get up and move around. But the fur standing up is a sure sign..

For me, once they’re on a decent amount of pressors & that blood glucose begins to drop? Oh baby you’re cooked…

The death smell. I worked in a senior assistance living home, and it was soooo unsettling once i realized it.

The truly quietest sign is the patient who simply hasn’t really improved. Their pressor doses haven’t gotten any worse than they were 3 days ago, but they haven’t gotten better either. O2 reqs about the same, still delirious but not climbing up the walls, etc. The best predictor of a critically ill patient who will do well is one who gets better every day. A day in the ICU where nothing gets better means a day where the patient is doing worse
