sepsis awareness

Sepsis is a serious body's response to infection that can damage tissues and organs, potentially leading to death if not treated promptly. It occurs when the immune system overreacts to an infection, releasing chemicals that cause widespread inflammation. Early recognition is crucial; signs include fever, chills, rapid heartbeat, confusion, extreme pain, or feeling very weak. Sepsis can develop from infections like pneumonia, urinary tract infections, or wounds. Prompt medical care with antibiotics and supportive treatments can improve outcomes. Raising awareness helps people identify symptoms early and seek immediate medical attention, saving lives.
