    Report summary

    Yvonne Rankin, aged 68, died at the University Hospital of Wales on 14 January 2021 after an infection at her PEG site returned and she quickly developed sepsis, despite extensive medical treatment. The concerns were that Yvonne and her family did not understand the specific signs of sepsis, which may have delayed calling 999, and whether sepsis information cards could be provided to patients and carers with PEGs or those at known risk of infection in the community.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to ensure that patients and carers understand the specific signs of sepsis

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) although family and Yvonne were told that they could refer any concerns to various professionals including the Abbott nurse, they did not understand the specific signs of sepsis to watch out for; (2) had family understood the signs of sepsis, it is likely that they would have rung 999 much sooner; and (3) It may be that patient/carer information cards setting out the common signs of sepsis already exists. Would it be possible to give out such information cards to patients/carers with PEGs and/or those who are at known risk of infection who are in the community? ”
