Sepsis is a global medical emergency

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection [1]. Sepsis arises when the body’s response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs.

Did you know?

  • Every year, 47 to 50 million people develop sepsis and of those an estimate of 11 million will die from sepsis related causes [2].
  • Sadly, Sepsis is the number 1 cause of death in hospitals [3], with 1 in 5 deaths worldwide associated with sepsis, and 40% of cases are in children under 5 [2].
  • Even if a patient does recover, up to 50% of sepsis survivors suffer from long-term physical and/or psychological effects [4].

Signs and Symptoms of Sepsis [5]:

  • Slurred speech or confusion
  • Extreme shivering or muscle pain/fever
  • Passing no urine all day
  • Severe breathlessness
  • It feels like you are going to die
  • Skin mottled or discolored

Challenges in Sepsis Diagnosis and Care

Sepsis can be difficult to identify, particularly in the initial stages. It presents a considerable diagnostic challenge to the emergency department and intensive care clinics. Symptoms are often unclear, and unspecific [6].


Sepsis is often overlooked or recognized too late. The later sepsis is recognized, the more deadly it will become [7].

The mortality rates associated with sepsis remains higher than prostate cancer, breast cancer, and HIV/AIDS combined. This is despite strict guidelines for the implementation of early and effective therapies which improve the chance of survival [6,8].
