Sepsis Fast Facts

  • Sepsis is an inflammatory response to an infection, often with fatal results.
  • Sepsis is a medical emergency. Sepsis can cause organ failure, septic shock, a precipitous drop in blood pressure – and death.
  • Older adults or people with weakened immune systems are most susceptible, but anyone can develop sepsis from an infection.
  • Treatment for sepsis usually includes antibiotics and large amounts of intravenous fluids.
  • Mortality from sepsis increases 8% every hour that treatment is delayed. As many as 80% of sepsis deaths may be prevented with rapid diagnosis and treatment.
