Sepsis Other
Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to infection causes widespread inflammation throughout the body. The immune system usually fights off infection, but if someone has sepsis their immune system stops working properly. This can lead to damage to tissues and organs if sepsis is not treated quickly enough or properly.
Sepsis can develop from any type of infection. Some people are more at risk of sepsis than others.
Sepsis is a medical emergency and must be treated quickly. If sepsis is not treated quickly enough, there can be serious complications, including organ failure and death.
If sepsis is not managed properly, this could be negligent. Some common examples of medical negligence claims relating to sepsis are:
- Failing to recognise sepsis early and provide treatment.
- Misdiagnosis of sepsis for another condition, which leads to a delay in diagnosis.
- Failing to treat sepsis or providing incorrect treatment.
