[|Human|] what does it mean when a person is in ICU and they have had a Staph infection that went into sepsis infection, it appears all is clearing up, pt getting blood tranfsions and has a blood clot in the artey in the neck ( im sure you know which one cant think of the name right now) still in ICU and now heart rate at rest is 185?.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. The scenario you are describing suggest poor prognosis. Staphylococcus infection in blood can lead to severe sepsis. And this causes hypotension, tachycardia, septic embolism etc. These embolic can cause blood clot in vessels. Tachycardia of 185 is very high. So over all his clinical picture is not good. It suggests that his infection is not controlled. So prognosis is very poor in his case. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
