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.
