Sepsis

Sepsis is a life-threatening medical condition. It arises when the body’s extreme response to an infection causes injury to its own organs. This extreme response to infection can lead to systemic inflammation, resulting in symptoms such as fever, increased heart rate, rapid breathing, and confusion. Untreated sepsis can eventually progress to septic shock, a critical condition marked by a significant drop in blood pressure, leading to severe organ dysfunction and potentially death. Early recognition and prompt treatment, typically with antibiotics and fluid replacement, are crucial for survival. Sepsis is a major healthcare challenge globally due to its high morbidity and mortality rate.
