Sepsis management

Sepsis management focuses on quickly treating a life-threatening reaction to infection. It typically involves several key steps: early recognition of symptoms like fever, rapid heart rate, or confusion; prompt delivery of antibiotics to fight infection; and intravenous fluids to maintain blood pressure and organ function. Monitoring vital signs and laboratory tests are crucial to assess the patient's condition. In severe cases, additional interventions like oxygen therapy or organ support may be necessary. Timely and effective treatment is critical, as sepsis can rapidly progress and lead to serious complications. Quick action can save lives.
