Sepsis: Diagnosis And Treatment

Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to an infection! Typically, a patient's body releases chemicals to fight an infection. When this response is imbalanced, sepsis is the result! Sepsis damages several organs. If it becomes septic shock, a patient's blood pressure drops extremely low. It will drop so low that they are at a high risk of death! Several groups are the most at risk of sepsis. They include immunocompromised individuals, seniors, young children, and pregnant women!

Patients need emergency sepsis treatment at a hospital! Broad-spectrum antibiotics are provided intravenously. Other intravenous fluids for sepsis will be given within three hours of being at the hospital!
