What Is Sepsis?
Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection. It occurs when chemicals released into the bloodstream to fight an infection trigger widespread inflammation. If not addressed quickly, sepsis can progress to septic shock, causing organ failure and death.
Common Causes of Sepsis
- Delayed Diagnosis: When healthcare providers fail to identify infections early.
- Improper Treatment: Administering the wrong antibiotics or failing to follow treatment protocols.
- Surgical Infections: Poor hygiene practices in hospitals or aftercare facilities.
- Hospital-Acquired Infections: Neglect in maintaining sterile environments.
If these situations occurred due to negligence, you might have a valid personal injury claim.
