Guide To The Risk Factors And Causes Of Sepsis

Sepsis is an abnormal response to an infection. This is a serious condition! Doctors must first confirm that a patient has an infection. Then, they will check the patient's respiration rate and blood pressure. Sepsis triggers a fast respiration rate. It must be at least twenty-two breaths per minute! Patients also need to have a systolic blood pressure reading that is less than 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
