      Four ways to get ahead of sepsis
    • Corporate Authors:
      National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (U.S.). Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion.
    • Description:
      Get ahead of sepsis : know the risks, spot the signs, act fast.

      Infections put you and your loved ones at risk for a life-threatening condition called sepsis.

      Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection. It is a medical emergency, and without timely treatment, it can rapidly cause tissue damage, organ failure, and death. Sepsis happens when an infection you already have — in your skin, lungs, urinary tract, or somewhere else — triggers a chain reaction throughout your body.

      1. Prevent infections

      2. Practice good hygiene

      3. Know the symptoms

      4. Act fast

      Always remember, sepsis is a medical emergency. Time matters.
